Workshops

Workshops

Free, hands-on creative sessions for children across Istanbul.

Our workshops run most weekends at partner schools and associations. Each session has a theme, dream cities, superpowers, clay sculpting, origami, recycled-material art, and is led by trained student volunteers.

Sessions are designed to be open-ended and judgement-free. There's no single right answer; there's only each child's imagination, and the pride of making something with their own hands.

How a workshop happens

From a fundraiser to a finished painting.

Every workshop travels the same path, powered by students, materials and a lot of heart.

  1. 01

    Raising funds

    Marathons, bake sales and campaigns turn community goodwill into a budget.

  2. 02

    Gathering materials

    Every lira becomes brushes, paint, paper and clay for the children.

  3. 03

    Partnering up

    We team up with schools and associations who know the children best.

  4. 04

    Recruiting volunteers

    Students sign up to plan, lead and support each session.

  5. 05

    Organising workshops

    We design a theme, prepare the space and set everything up.

  6. 06

    Making space to create

    Children paint, mould and imagine, freely, and without judgement.

  7. 07

    Sharing the impact

    We document the day and bring the story back to our community.
