Argument

We believe that in today’s world creativity is necessary in anything we do or want to do. Game, imagination, the exercise of various modes of expression helps children discover and live up to their artistic potential.

At the same time, learning to express themselves creatively, children are learning to know themselves better, to get to know those around and to develop a harmonious personality.

The main objective of the program is developing and creatively using various forms of expression (language, art, the body), with the ultimate goal of developing the child’s self-awareness, self-confidence and his ability to relate to others. Children will uncover their creative potential, practicing various forms of imaginative use of language. Children will strengthen their self confidence, learning to affirm their personality without inhibitions: their own experiences, body and presence in time and space, assuming their own identity.

Children will understand more about themselves, their peers and about learn to better interact with them.

The program is made up of three thematic modules in alternate succession, and ends with an event prepared by the children, at which the parents are invited to participate as spectators.

The REcreatio program is designed for children between the ages of 6 and 12. The cost is 750 RON (VAT included) for each participant. Courses start on the 19th of October and last 7 weeks, with one 2 hour session each week. One group may have a maximum of 12 children.
We ask that when you register your child into the program you decide on which day you would rather him attend the class. (Please pick one of the two variants: Option 1 or Option 2).
