Little Lights

The art and philosophy workshops, founded by Chiara Pastorini, offer a space dedicated to young people, where art and philosophy meet in a journey that is both fun and reflective. Through these workshops, young participants explore fundamental philosophical concepts in a fun way, thus developing their artistic sensitivity and strengthening their intellectual abilities.

This approach is part of the manifesto “We Care We Dare for a Heartful, Peaceful and Regenerative Future” (version in EN and IT ), committed, among other things, to a regenerative future where the education of children becomes an essential pillar. By participating in these workshops, young people are encouraged to reflect on their feelings and experiences, and to develop a creative and human side essential to facing the challenges of tomorrow.

An awareness day for this method was organized on May 11 and 12, 2024 in Venice by Chiara Pastorini (you can find THE EVENT and THE PRESS RELEASE ), and experimental workshops were led in July by Flavia Soubiran at the Pieta Institute in Venice. To learn more, please click HERE.

September 28-29,

This training is open to anyone who wishes to support children on this journey, by acquiring the skills necessary to lead these art and philosophy workshops. At the end of the training, a Certificate of Participation will be issued by Les Petites Lumières.
