Hey, parents!

In this edition we’ve got the Mercado de Motores at the Railway Museum, a seriously fun LEGO activity, several magic shows (sorry, they’re my weakness), a traveling circus, an interactive musical percussion show for babies, play school in the park, a kids’ racetrack celebrating European Mobility Week, animated shorts from the Directed by Women in Spain Festival, a fashion and design workshop, a string-quartet performance, several STEAM activities, and lots more!

“IMAGINE YOUR CITY” URBAN DESIGN WORKSHOP, WITH CHIQUITECTOS

This workshop, organized by MATCOAM and led by Chiquitectos, aims to introduce urban design to children ages 6 to 12, fostering their understanding through experimentation, play, and creativity.

This initiative is designed to support work-life balance while sparking children’s interest in the environment we live in, turning urban design into a participatory and fun experience.

The family-friendly workshop on September 15th is linked to an afterwork event and will take place simultaneously at the MATCOAM space. While you attend the conference, your kids can enjoy an architecture workshop
