Workshops are not just spaces of instruction; they are spaces of exchange. Making Worlds with Others was conceived as a collaborative, participatory practice, designed to move away from hierarchical learning structures and instead
            
foster an environment where young people could build, imagine, and create together.
As a team, we set out to develop a workshop for 10–12-year-old students, one that would ignite imagination, encourage world-building, and cultivate a sense of community. But what followed was more than just designing an activity—it was a process of learning, unlearning, testing, failing, adapting, and questioning.

This workshop was not about teaching young people, but rather about creating a space for them to explore, exchange, and shape ideas on their own terms.
