In my work with children I have adopted a role of anti-educator.
Calling myself another name would be unfair, as during my meetings with children it is me who learns. Only listening to children, giving attention to their needs and what they have to say, I can show them the importance of being sensitive to the needs of others, also in urban space.
On the 1st December during the second edition of “ADE Let’s meet. Presentations, networking, workshops” I will talk on my work with children. The meeting for architecture educators is organised by National Institute of Architecture and Urban Planning.
How to work with children? From running workshops and talking to children I have learnt the rule of 3L. The Ls are simple and difficult in the same time: Listen, Learn and Love.
Let’s talk about children. Let’s talk with children. Today I have launched an instagram account for cityforchildren. Check it!
