To celebrate International Environment Day, the AG Leventis Gallery joins the global events of the Letters to the Sea initiative, presenting its own creative workshop addressed to children. On June 14, the workshop will amplify the initiative’s efforts to raise awareness and inspire environmental action. As such, educator Rebecca Katsaris, storyteller Marina Katsaris and performer Mélissa Garcia Carro invite children to a special morning at the gallery.

Through storytelling, sound, movement and creative writing, children will explore the wonders of marine life, experiencing their deep connection with the ocean environment. Guided by the three facilitators, they will write letters of love and gratitude to the sea, turning their words into beacons of hope and respect.

Two sessions will take place next Saturday for children aged five to seven. The first group will be in Greek (10.15am-11.15am), while the second will be in English (11.45am-12.45pm).

Saturday’s workshops mark the beginning of a series of experiential activities under the umbrella of the global movement Letters to the Sea, raising children’s voices for the protection of the ocean. The workshop will draw inspiration from Raoul Dufy’s (1877-1953) painting Regatta in the Channel (Régates sur la Manche), part of the Paris Collection.
