They are invited to imagine new possibilities for how we live, create and care for the world around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the session, participants will transform discarded materials into a shared architectural artwork. Cardboard boxes, fabric, packaging, found objects and other rescued materials will become walls, windows, decorations and unexpected inventions, as children explore how they can make something extraordinary from what already exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Event Details<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong>Thursday 8 October<\/strong><br><strong><strong>11am &#8211; 1pm<\/strong><br><strong><strong><strong><strong>FREE &#8211; registration essential<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong><strong>Ages 7 and over<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All materials are included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/events.humanitix.com\/jcg-school-holiday-workshop-a-treehouse-for-the-future\">Register here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Photography<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This event may be photographed and\/or videoed and images may occasionally be used for promotional and marketing purposes, including social media.
