Preschool

For kids from 5 years old

1. Workshops based on the Museum’s education collection
   
   A wealth of words
   Wise like a turtle, unfriendly like a crocodile, or brave like civil rights activist Rosa Parks? By reading different stories, children can learn about realities of life that are unfamiliar to them and put themselves in other people's shoes. Together, we will explore various children's books from the World Cultures Library. Afterwards, we will either perform a story in an improvisational theatre or illustrate a story graphically using printing techniques. Duration: 2 hours, cost: €6 per person
   
   Shadow play
   A light source, figures and a screen – that's all we need. We look at various shadow play figures from the museum's hands-on collection and design our own characters, who embark on great adventures on the screen. Duration: 2.5 hours, cost €7.50 per person
2. Workshops based on our current exhibition "SHEROES. Comic Art from Africa"
   
   

   Comics Tell Stories
   Together, we will immerse ourselves in the exhibition ‘SHEROES. Comic Art from Africa’ and familiarise ourselves with the various comics and their narrative structures. Inspired by the characters, objects, colours and shapes in the comics, we will then develop our own comic strip.
   Duration: 2 hours. Cost: £6 per person.

   Making Comics Sound
   POW! SPLASH! BOINK! – How do comics speak to us and what sounds do we imagine when we read them? In the exhibition ‘SHEROES. Comic Art from Africa,’ we learn about the meaning and contexts of the comics and artworks. Then we experiment with different sound effects and add sound to selected comics to make the visual stories loud and lively.
   Duration: 2 hours. Cost: €6 per person. The format is adapted to the age group.
