Tjolahopp! Make way for children!

This spring, we’re putting young visitors at the heart of our programme, which takes the child’s perspective as its starting point. Three months of creative, fun activities!
Carl et Elsa s’échappent : texte Jenny Westin Verona, illustration Jésus Verona, Ed. Cambourakis 2016

The inspiration for the season is the Room for children, a specially designed space that is part creative library and part educational play area at the Kulturhuset Stadsteatern, a leading children’s cultural venue in Stockholm. In Paris we have chosen to call our very own Room for Children, Place des Enfants.

In addition to this we are organising events and workshops, music for children, several small exhibitions, and discussions for people who are actively involved in developing culture for children.

Välkomna to all children from 0 – 99 years old!
