Session structure

Each session begins with looking at images and introducing a role-play story.
Children then create an art project inspired by the theme.
After that, they explore the world through gently guided, open-ended imaginative play.

Our next journey is designed to last around 5 sessions, adapting to the pace and interests of the children.
We’ll explore Roman sculptures, fashion, myths, and everyday life through creative projects and role-play.
