"We take our practices to new places. We travel to do our workshops in a different space, with new materials. We complement our ideas. We encourage our colleagues to face shame. We build citizenship. We reflect. We transform a text into a sculpture, we ask, we answer, and we hope that new questions have arisen". Check out the children's visit to the Haroldo Conti Cultural Center in Buenos Aires, Argentina.


 

 

 

 Children, Specialists in Silvina Ocampo, Argentina

We have been working at the Comedor Siempre Carrillo since 2019.

Knowledge to Enable Your Success 

In June and July, 2022, Emma Fang led 2 workshops for Caribbean's kids in partnership with the Knowledge to Enable Your Success.
