An artistic project for children from the age of 6 up, young people and adults.

The objective is to get to know each country, its traditions/way of life, culture, geography, and curiosities.

​​

The study of each country does not have a fixed duration, it always depends on the cultural richness of each location.

Through a visual diary built with reusable materials and the creation of a stamp, we travel through the countries previously selected in a draw.  Through the geographical and cultural study of each one, we register graphically, using various techniques of drawing, painting, and mixed media.

In addition to the visual journal, we also try to discover where we can find people and locations from the chosen countries, sometimes organising field trips to these places.

Finally, we finish the study of each country with a specific project that could be simply the fulfilment/development of a tradition, such as a gastronomic recipe, an animated film, a game or even a traditional object or craft.

Learning, a journey that never ends!
