Ongoing since April 2012.
The activities offer pedagogical and recreational activities to primary school children during the summer months in the school setting. Through an array of creative activities, children develop participation and communication skills with volunteers from all over the world in an experiential way. The daily activities include theatrical play, art workshops, music making, dancing, team games and sports activities in the courtyard of school. Children experience their school in a very different and more open context, reconstruct the conventional image of the school and strengthen their relationships with smaller and older children as well as with young people from different nationalities in a climate of cooperation, equality and acceptance. Each action is carried out by experienced pedagogues and with the valuable participation of young volunteers from around the world.
