We think it is very important that children get chances to create at their own terms. That there is not just one way,there are many ways to approach the subject! By using worthless materials you will get your imaginations started.

When we participatereception of refugees we had to change our procedures. It was really challenging to receive people who had completely different backgrounds and cultures. The language was completely new to them and everything in the environment was also very different. But we know that wecanalwaysdo better in helping children with another culture background and Therefore, we are very excited and happy to be involved in this project with you all. Andget the opportunity to learn from you and share our experiences.
