Amazonia Workshop

  ARTE AMAZONIA promotes education of the Amazon through creativity and art.

We offer workshops to kindergartens, schools, universities, camps and youth groups to help create awareness of the rainforest and our environment in young people. Through the senses students are taken on a journey through the Amazon where they can directly see, touch, hear, smell and taste things from the rainforest. The essence of this program is structured around everyday objects that

 relate to life in the rainforest.

 

Through a hands on approach, we incorporate movements, sounds of the rainforest, and  authentic materials including Yanomami baskets, musical instruments, bows & arrows, masks, rainforest seeds, edibles, palm fibers, and more. By exploring the indigenous way of life with their relationship to their environment, we can learn how it is possible to be more resourceful and sustainable in our own lives. Our hope is to plant seeds of awareness that will help protect these endangered cultures and environments, as well as our own.

Available in English, German & Spanish.
