With illustrator Mantraste

For children aged 6 to 10

Whether it's our neighbors or the world, it's always easy to think of something we don't like and want it to change. But knowing how to look around and appreciate the little things in our daily lives is also important.

That's why Mantraste invites you to this workshop to paint posters that express our appreciation for small things.

Together we'll create an appreciation rally!

With illustrator Maria Remédio

For children aged 3 to 5 accompanied by an adult

Do we feel free when we go down a slide? When we fly high on a swing? Doing a cartwheel? When we start being able to read?

In this workshop we'll start by making a list of what makes us feel free and then we'll build a mini set with cardboard, photos and drawings, where we'll put all our inventions of spaces of freedom in one place!

From the collectiom Missão Democracia

With text by Isabel Minhós Martins and illustrations by Carolina Celas

The Missão: Democracia collection, by Edições Assembleia da República, is a collection of twelve informative illustrated albums on the concepts and values of democracy.

In this 6th volume, the authors Isabel Minhós Martins and Carolina Celas worked together on the theme Parliament Members, which resulted in the book "Parliament Members of the Future, Hello!".

We'll be leafing through it for the first time in the company of the authors and Sara Ludovico.

The original illustrations that gave rise to the book will also be on display.

Come and say "hello!"

Drawing posters with Madalena Matoso

For children from 5 to 10 years old

10 instructions for creating a poster:
1) Take a good look at a sheet of paper (at least 30 seconds).
2) Listen to what it has to say.
3) Write down the message and notice whether it speaks Loudly or Softly.
4) Adapt that message for a distracted audience.
5) Do at least 10 experiments (if you do more than 30 experiments and nothing happens, go back to point 1).
6) Choose the letters and colors to suit the message.
7) Between minimum, average and maximum, choose the best scale.
8) Put everything in the right place (what exactly is the right place?).
9) Put it on the wall, turn your back and take a few steps in the opposite direction.
10) Look over suddenly.
