Children playing together during a Sonqo Wasi celebration

Three formats

Pop-up workshop

About two hours in a street, square, park or forest. Painting with what surrounds us, then movement games and dance. Open drop-in for local children aged 5–16.

What to bring: nothing. We bring the materials.

02

School series

Three days hosted by a local school or NGO, two hours a day with the same group of children, ending with a small show for families.

What to bring: nothing. We bring the materials.

03

Community celebration

A full day bringing a village or neighbourhood together around its children: colours, music, a shared meal and a football match where everyone wins.

What to bring: nothing. We bring the materials.
