#art-s-cool

Last Friday I had my first ever kids’ workshop held in Dutch language. I was very nervous that my level of Dutch might not be enough and I might have difficulties communicating with children (who don’t speak any english) but it all went pretty well! It felt very satisfying too, considering that I’ve been living in the Netherlands for the past 8 years.

I’ve also noticed that kids liked hearing my little excuses about not being fluent in their language and asking them to help me learn :) 

I was doing this workshop together with Art-s-cool, a cultural organisation that  brings together kids and parents to see and make art. This workshop was organised in partnership with Blended festival. Kids were making dioramas that later will be used for the festival’s posters. 

Kids split up into groups designing different dioramas about music, dance, food, theatre and other topics they associated with festival.

It was lots of fun and I’m looking forward to the next workshop this month. Here are some of the pictures I took during the workshop.
