Description

At Karta Festa, you will have the chance to immerse yourself in the art of tinkering and making while exploring the science behind traditional artistic crafts. You will also discover the art of paper crafting, from DIY paper-making to intricate papier-mâché and large-scale paper constructions.

Beyond the fun and creativity, Karta Festa has a deeper message. Visitors will discover the art of upcycling by learning techniques to transform unusable paper into practical items. This not only fosters creativity but also instils positive feelings toward repurposing materials that would otherwise have been discarded. Karta Festa at Esplora is not just any other Carnival celebration. It's a commitment to sustainability and a reminder that even among the fun and joy of carnival, we can make a positive impact on our environment.

So, bring your children wearing their favourite costumes, and join us in turning the pages of yesterday into the stories of tomorrow!
