Dare to Play - MDT Program with City of Learning Eindhoven

16 August 2025

We had the pleasure of hosting the From Waste to Wonder workshop as part of the Dare To Play event, an inspiring program within the MDT initiative by artist Octophina, held at Emmaus Eindhoven. This session was a little different from our usual work with children—it brought together participants in their 20s and 30s. 🌿✨

 

The dynamic was more relaxed and reflective, but equally creative and engaging. Instead of racing with excitement like kids often do, these adults took their time to explore the materials, enjoy the process, and express their ideas in unique ways. The heart of the workshop remained the same: experimenting with bio-based materials and transforming what is often seen as waste into something beautiful and meaningful. It was fascinating to see how creativity flows across all age groups when given the chance to make, play, and explore.

 

A big thank you to Octophina and Emmaus Eindhoven for creating a space where art, sustainability, and play come together. We loved being part of this initiative and look forward to more sessions where people of all ages can experience the joy of making!
