Language Explorers - Magical adventures
Creative multilingual workshop for families with children 3 to 6 years old
What to expect...
Join artist Angélica Santander for a creative exploration of nature’s growth. Through dramatic play, storytelling, and tabletop puppetry, families will discover the incredible life cycle of a seed and its impact on our world.
Participants will examine seeds from across the globe, offering a special opportunity to share their own languages and heritage. Together, we will build fantastical landscapes and bring stories to life through puppetry, celebrating both the diversity of our plants and the richness of our community.
Each session is different but connected to an overall theme. Come to as many workshops as you like! Mother Tongues’ Language Explorer workshops provide a unique creative experience for parents and their children based on storytelling, play, visual arts and music. While the workshops will be guided in English, we encourage families to embrace their home languages. This fosters meaningful connections between parents and children, creating a truly inclusive environment. Meet and connect with other like-minded families and share your language journey!
PLEASE NOTE:
Workshops are free of charge, but booking is required as there is limited capacity. When you reserve a child ticket, the accompanying adult is automatically included. If you can’t make the event, please email us at lacie@mothertongues.ie so that some other family can benefit from attending the workshop.
Please remember that children must be under the supervision of an accompanying adult throughout the workshops.
Activities have been specifically designed for children aged 3 to 6. However, if you have an older child who wishes to participate, they are more than welcome (please book a place for them too). For children younger than 2.5 years, the activities might be too complex, but they are also welcome to accompany their older siblings. No need to reserve a spot for younger accompanying children.
This workshop series is funded by the Arts Council and Rua Red Arts Centre.
