Who?

Outdoor learning transforms us.

Connecting with nature and discovering new skills, attitudes, knowledge and behaviors through direct engagement with the environment awakens in us a perspective that enriches our learning for life.

Inspired by the Forest schools, we follow in their footsteps in our 4-day campus that will take place from April 19 to 22.

Through activities and projects in which we will build shelters, cook and mold our own crockery, learn to make fire, hike routes full of adventure, climb, orienteering, etc., all in a safe and supportive environment to improve social skills, appreciate and value difference, and foster meaningful relationships that promote tolerance, respect and kindness.

Let's take steps that allow us to connect and get closer to our love for Mother Earth.

Who?

The Belly Lab project aims to inspire through design an introspective journey that promotes awareness of who we are as individuals, social beings capable of impacting the lives of those around us. Aimed at children from 4 to 9 years of age, The Belly Lab is structured into workshops with dance, painting, illustration and ceramics creatives from the Valencian Community.

LAB #1. I AM
The first unit of the project focuses on the exploration of who we are and our self-image. THE TYPO SHOW aims to, through creative dancing with Cristina Cabo and the creation of a personalized typography with the illustrator Eduardo Amatriain, awaken the major conscience about ourselves.
LAB #2. I SHARE
The second unit of the project invites us to connect with the people around us, those that we choose and those that we do not choose. Through THE LOOM, a weaving workshop, we will learn about the importance of how we have an impact in our relationships and how these relationships connect with others allowing our loom to open to new opportunities.
LAB #3 WE TRANSFORM
The third unit focuses on our capacity to change things with our own actions and on how these changes can be emphasized if our loom is connected. Through drawing, it is possible to have an impact on social transformation. With two workshops called FEED THE POT and WORD AS A HUG, the creation of ceramics and the design of cards using watercolours acquire the dimension of a social transformation in these disadvantaged contexts, helping that way, to improve the wellbeing and quality of citizenship. The ceramist Sonia Teresa Bosch will participate in both of these workshops.

El proyecto The Belly Lab pretende inspirar a través del diseño a un recorrido introspectivo que promueve la concienciación de quiénes somos como individuos, seres sociales y capaces de transformar. Dirigido a niños y niñas de 4 a 9 años, The Belly Lab se estructura en talleres con profesionales de la danza, pintura, ilustración y cerámica de la Comunidad Valenciana.

Estos talleres tendrán lugar del 26 al 30 de diciembre y se organizan a través de diferentes disciplinas:

LAB #1. I AM

Este primer bloque del proyecto se adentra en la exploración de quiénes somos y de nuestra autoimagen. THE TYPO SHOW recoge a través de la danza creativa con Cristina Cabo y la creación de una tipografía personalizada con el ilustrador Eduardo Amatriain el despertar de una conciencia mayor de nosotros mismos.

LAB #2. I SHARE

El segundo bloque del proyecto busca la conexión con las personas que nos rodean, aquellas que elegimos y las que no. A través de THE LOOM, un taller de tejido en telar conoceremos la importancia de cómo impactamos en las relaciones y de cómo éstas conectan con otras que permiten que nuestro telar entrelace nuevas oportunidades.

LAB. #3. WE TRANSFORM

El último bloque se adentra en la capacidad de transformar con nuestras acciones y de cómo esta transformación se amplifica si nuestro telar está conectado. A través del diseño es posible el impacto en la transformación social. Con dos talleres llamados FEED THE POT y WORD AS A HUG las creaciones de cerámica en mesa y de diseño de postales a través de la técnica de la acuarela, adquieren una dimensión de transformación social en aquellos contextos desfavorecidos ayudando así a mejorar el nivel de bienestar y calidad de la ciudadanía. Participan en estos dos talleres la ceramista Sonia Teresa Bosch.
