The renowned English researcher, Ken Robinson, revealed that 9 out of 10 people are creative geniuses during childhood. However, he warns that most lose this ability as they grow up, due to traditional education and social paradigms. To avoid this, the director of Continuing Education at Toulouse LautrecFrida Melgar, considers it necessary to permanently train and strengthen the creativity of children and adolescents.
“The holidays are the ideal time for our children to exploit their creativity to the fullest, through fun, playful, challenging and experimental courses. This way they will also develop their innovative mentality”Melgar maintained. For this reason, for this summer 2023, Toulouse Lautrec launches the Summer Teens&Kidsa program with 29 creative courses for children and adolescents between 7 and 16 years old.
Between the courses of Summer Teens&Kids that will help develop and enhance the creativity of the children, the specialist highlighted the following:
- Video games development: They will learn the basic principles of video game design and programming, to transfer an imaginary world to a real 2D prototype.
