Green Kids – Summer Camp
WHAT IT IS
During our Camps in partnership with Popcorn English, we guide our little guests to become more aware of the impact of our actions on the environment that surround us.
We inspire and guide the kids to connect with a multilingual and multicultural territory, to live in a more sustainable way and to be encouraged to represent a model of change.
AIMS
- Raise children awareness on the respect for each other and for the environment
- Deepen the knowledge of the nature cycles
- Develop your own artistic qualities, the communication and the team work
- Increase confidence in yourself and in your skills
