We make things, and this is our playground.
The playground is a small workshop designed for young children of nursery, infant, and primary school age to learn through making. Most activities held are in English, depending on complexity!
Activities run throughout the school year in a studio+kitchen space in north Milan. Programs are taliored for small groups of children of a similar age, in after school sessions.
The goal of each workshop is to engage young children in a genuine and authentic use of English, rich in communication activities. Special emphasis is placed on developing communication through manual skills.
