workshop - "A dog tells a story"
Join us in celebrating World Animal Day with creativity, love and solidarity!
for children 5+
On the occasion of World Animal Day (October 4), FOUGARO ARTCENTER has prepared a unique creative workshop for children aged 5 or older. The kids will follow the story of a dog in search of love and kindness, and will see life through the animal's eyes! They will be taught the importance of extending care and love to the animals and discover the value of friendship between humans and animals.
Starting from this story, the children will create their own works of art with the use of simple materials and mixed media as an expression of their inspiration and their love for animals.
Instead of a ticket, we'll be collecting packages of dry dog food on behalf of the "Adespotoi" animal care society of Nafplio, in support of animals in need.
Advance booking required!
