SANDRO WILLIAM JUNQUEIRA – Imagination through the hand (an encounter with writing)

OCT 2023 / Workshop
9 > 13 OCT 2023
E.B. 1 Santa Maria
E.B. 1 Bairro Operário

The idea for this meeting arose from the book The Words That Escaped the Dictionary.
By carrying out a series of exercises and games and sharing experiences, the aim is to discover with the children some of the mysterious mechanisms of writing and imagination.
The suggested exercises/challenges and games are based on letters, words and language deviations. The aim is for each child to challenge their creativity, stimulate their imagination and write.
