In this workshop, we will be presenting some activities that participants can use with children to help them communicate. For each activity, we will explain what is behind the activity and how it is helpful. Participants will have the opportunity to take part in the activities.
We will share about the Kids’ Workshop™️ program that we developed to help children communicate, express themselves, and develop high self-confidence, resilience, appreciation for differences and nature. The Kids’ Workshop goes across cultures and a video will be shown of children, participating in activities in a Kids’ Workshop with school children in Rome, and in a refugee camp in France with children from five different countries.
