From Fons Pitiús de Cooperació, Formentera welcomes Giramón

Next Monday, 17 January at 6.00pm, the "Ajuntament Vell" exhibition space will open its doors to Giramón, an exhibition which will remain on view until Thursday 27 January.

This exhibition is designed to teach children in early-childhood education about other places around the world. Torta, a travelling lizard, brings together five children from various countries and continents and leads on an active discovery of each other's daily activities.

During one-hour guided tours, groups of four and five year olds from Formentera schools take it in turns visiting the exhibition. Pupils from Mestre Lluís Andreu, Verge Miraculosa, La Mola and Sant Ferran will discover a more positive image of other countries and ways of life. According to the Fons Pitiús de Cooperació, "The exhibition teaches children about all they have in common with people in other parts of the world, as well as the essential roles that women often play and the importance of community in the lives of featured individuals: whether in decision making, conflict resolution, project development or elsewhere; children will also grasp the importance of nature and continuous contact with it, and the ability to live with few material things".

The exhibition is open Monday to Saturday from 11.00am to 2.00pm and 6.00pm to 8.00pm. The Sala d'Exposicions "Ajuntament Vell" is closed on Sundays, Monday mornings and bank holidays.
