Paper is made of trees? And toys from toilet paper rolls? Used paper can be recycled and used again? To make your own hand-made paper? With these and other questions, we will be dealing on children symposium with its main theme - THE PAPER. We will discuss how the paper is made, we will try to make our own home made paper and from that and other materials (cardboard, toilet rolls,..) we will be creating simple toys and gifts - using Makedo - a toy developing creativity of kids (and adults as well!).

By playing, making and disucssing, we want to make kids think critically about the way we use the material which surrounds us from the very childhood, in school and basically whole life.
