  • Kids Events and Workshops


The project was created with the goal of establishing family-friendly spaces within events that would typically not include them. With added value: Mothern corners are not only functional and practical but also comfortable and “warm,” ensuring they are not merely service or transit areas, but true “events within the event,” where people can feel at ease and enjoy spending time in a functional and aesthetically pleasing environment.

In addition to setting up areas dedicated to children and their families, my role was to design, coordinate, and implement workshops and activities, ranging from creative activities (art, photography, music) to more educational projects (philosophy for children, civic education, creative reading and writing).
