Setmana Blanca (White Week)

08.02 - 11.02.2011

We offer a wide range of activities for kids during the Setmana Blanca (March 8th to the 11th)

The Thief with a Thousand Faces
Dynamized Tour

There have been five robberies in the city. The police suspect they were committed by a famous thief even though the descriptions given by witnesses are completely different. Do we have five thieves or only one? Come and help us solve the mystery!

In our investigation we will explore how clothing can modify the appearance of the body by using tricks that slim down or broaden the appearance of the body. Students will discover four basic methods that modify one's appearance using clothing: broadening, slimming, changing shape and unveiling.

Paricipants will also learn how to analyze situations by observing small details. We will discuss fashion and its influence in society and students will also reflect on the effect our external appearance and body image has in society and its effect on our well-being.
