Maps, jungles & sparkling seas at Tuam Family Resource Centre!
Join Coco the Explorer on a playful family adventure! Together we’ll follow maps, travel through jungles, sail across the sparkling sea and discover exciting new worlds through movement, storytelling, music and creative play.
Along the way, children and their grown-ups will share words from their home languages, explore sounds, colours and rhythms from different cultures, and use their imagination to solve challenges together.
Each workshop is filled with playful exploration, helping families celebrate their languages, build confidence and create joyful memories together.
We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and come ready to move, as the workshop is quite interactive and involves movement!
Dates:
Saturday 10th, 17th, 24th of October, from 2:30 to 3:30 pm
How to book:

Mother Tongues’ Language Explorer workshops provide a unique creative experience for parents and their children based on storytelling, play, visual arts and music. While the workshops will be guided in English, we encourage families to embrace their home languages. This fosters meaningful connections between parents and children, creating a truly inclusive environment. Meet and connect with other like-minded families and share your language journey!
Workshops are free of charge, but booking is required.
Please remember that children must be under the supervision of an accompanying adult throughout the workshops.
Activities have been specifically designed for children aged 3 to 6. However, if you have an older child who wishes to participate, they are more than welcome (please book a place for them too). For children younger than 2.5 years, the activities might be too complex, but they are also welcome to accompany their older siblings. No need to reserve a spot for younger accompanying children.
This workshop series is funded by the Arts Council and the University of Galway.
