Woodworking / manual workshop: creation of a small gadget inspired by Leonardo

The workshop offered to the children the opportunity of rediscovering the pleasure of manual skills and personal creativity that goes beyond the virtual, using natural elements such as wood.

Pupils have been able to realize the objects that they had previously designed, having at their disposal the needed equipment, materials and spaces.

The hands on activity increased their self-esteem and the pleasure of "I can do".

The workshop aimed to stimulate dexterity, design, creativity and freedom of expression. Pupils had the chance to succeed and to overcome obstacles  through a spontaneously  chosen work that  enriches the conscience with something very different from a simple knowledge: the consciousness of its own value.
