Eco-Print Workshops
Tehran, Iran, 2024
These workshops utilize eco-printing techniques, an ancient and natural method, allowing children to observe the intricate details of leaves and connect with the beauty and subtleties of nature. The collaborative and interactive nature of the workshop also plays a crucial role in fostering teamwork and group participation among children. Throughout the process of creating an artwork, children are actively engaged, which helps boost their self-confidence and self-belief while also deepening their understanding of nature’s value and beauty.
Interactive birdwatching Workshops
Tehran, Iran, 2024
In urban environments, children often miss out on the soothing sounds of nature, like bird songs. Our workshops aim to reconnect them with these auditory experiences, fostering a deeper appreciation for the natural world. Through engaging activities, such as games and puzzles, children will learn to recognize different bird species and develop skills in environmental awareness and curiosity. By immersing them in these experiences, we hope to inspire a lifelong love for nature and enhance their understanding of local biodiversity.
