Proposal

Classrooms, corridors, desks in front of a blackboard ... Are there favorable environments for participation in schools? Dreaming and inventing new scenarios to promote creativity and communication of childhood will be the starting point of the seminar. From these imagined places, we will be able to look again at education and reflect on the methodologies of child participation that allow us to integrate into the school through the educational curriculum.
