THE VILLAGE BY THE KIDS

”Our village by us will be a place of wisdom & belonging, a place of freedom & peace. 
It creates love & imagination for all.” Child artist

The Village by The Kids is an audio adventure co-designed by children, artists and supported by educators in primary schools. It supports a child’s right to play, to dream, to create and to lead. It's a space where children use the power of imagination to curate, design and share their lived experiences in their neighbourhoods, guiding locals and guests to curious corners and hidden gems.

For more information on how The Village by The Kids program can come to your neighbourhood, please contact Claudia Chidiac.
