The workshop includes practical training by dividing participants into working groups on cultural production for children, including “children's stories- dramas- games” and recommendations on the cultural, psychological and educational content of children.
The workshop is attended by experts in the field of education, psychology and psychiatry for children and specialists in writing and creativity for children.
