The young participants are called to create a story exploring the concepts of diversity, collectivity and harmonious coexistence of their characters in an imaginary environment. Finally, the kids will have the opportunity to transfer their own symbolic message of peace to the audience, through the visualisation of their story in the form of a film.
The workshop is coordinated by Marios Matheou and Panagiota Michael.
Participation to the workshop is free of charge.
