CREATIVE ATELIERS
Do you know the meaning of the word universality? What does expressing yourself mean? What should be the characteristics of the best bodyguards? Three characters turn into main characters of engaging stories and creative workshops on the United Nations Convention rights number 2, 20 and 13, revisited and translated into paintings by Noemi Vola and Andrea Antinori, two illustrators for children’s books.
Video tutorials are based on materials easy to find and on simple steps… as well as a special component, the children’s imagination.
DIGITAL ATELIERS
The last workshop that ends the series of the Liberty video tutorials is the digital creativity workshop using Scratch. We can programme an interactive experience where characters in the paintings turn into nice sprites.
RIGHT TO EXPRESSION Article 13 You have the right to freedom of expression through speech or arts, exceeding freely in measure and monumentality.
Let’s build noughts and crosses table game and play with the right to expression.
RIGHT TO BE PROTECTED
Article 20
You have the right to be protected by the best bodyguards.
Let’s turn a crocodile into a pantograph to find out the right to be protected.
UNIVERSALITY
Article 2
Your rights must be respected regardless of your nationality, religion, colour of your skin, eyes, and hair; regardless of your favourite cartoon, sport, or preferred ice-cream flavour. This also applies to disobedient children.
Let’s learn about universality and build a game with a curious character from the canvas.
