Family Day at Barnes Crossing
WOLKENSTEIN & Teatro 4Garoupas
This Saturday from 2 to 6 pm, Barnes Crossing offers two pieces to experience, a dance workshop, a kamishibai reading about children's rights – and all around it, a cozy afternoon with delicious waffles.
Article 31 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child: children have the right to take part in artistic and cultural life.
We invite you to get to know children's rights and to experience the many ways they reach into children's everyday lives.
We will also share how we bring children's rights to life. Among other things, we will present the work of the international association of theater for children and young people: for more than 40 years, ASSITEJ has championed this right and advocated for the artistic and cultural interests of children and young people.
