  ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
  This project stems from a 33-hours Civic education course, with the aim of understanding the principles of the International celebration of cultural diversity, promoted by UNESCO for Mat 21. This workshop aimed at celebrating the cultural diversity already present in the class, approaching many aspects like religion, language, habits, clothing and housing, means of transportation and so on. From a technical point of view, the children studied the joints of the human body, to build paper puppets that could move correctly; they analyzed the dances in slow motion, to try to reproduce their movements exactly.
