18:00 “The Crown As a Symbol in Culture” – art workshop for children
On the 1000th anniversary of the coronation of Bolesław Chrobry, we would like to invite all children aged 5-7 to an art workshop “The Crown As a Symbol in Culture”.
During the workshop, the children will discover the meaning of the crown as a symbol of power, wisdom, and respect. They will also learn how the coronation of Bolesław Chrobry influenced our history, and about the symbolic role of a crown in Jewish tradition, which represents the wisdom and sanctity of the Torah. Finally, the children will create their own art versions of the crown.
This workshop is a great opportunity to combine fun and learning and to travel through time, not only to discover the history, but also to explore one’s imagination. And, last but not least, to create an artwork that you can take home!
Space is limited.
