The KIT of digital atelier activities focuses on the creative use and understanding of media, and the use of technology and tools that are free and easily accessible to all, independently of the socio-economical capacity of the involved family or institution. It is based on the inspiration of pedagogical innovators that are the result of a co-design work between educators, parents and children during the first year of this project.
The KIT contains 40 digital ateliers with activity suggestions step-by-step for children 3-6 years that can be made either in presence, at home or in an intermittent modality around 5 main topics:
1- Emotions
2- Nature
3- Language/Storytelling
4- Numeracy
5- Physical activity.
