Theme: Peekaboo!

En nuestro día a día, nos envuelven rutinas en nuestras vidas, nuestros trabajos, nuestras familias… mientras cientos de cosas que transcurren a nuestro alrededor pasan desapercibidas y no se aprecian a simple vista. Pasamos de una infancia de juegos y curiosidad hacia una adultez de hábitos e indiferencia que nos impiden apreciar lo que nos rodea. Existe todo un mundo asombroso por descubrir. Recuperemos el juego como elemento clave de aprendizaje, y volvamos a sorprendernos con la misma inocencia de cuando éramos niños. Abramos los ojos a este mundo fascinante. ¡Peekaboo!

In our daily lives, routines surround us, our works, our families… while there are hundreds of things happening around us that are unnoticed and not appreciated at a glance. We go from a childhood of games and curiosity to an adulthood of habits and indifference that prevents us from appreciating what’s around. There is an amazing whole world to discover. Let’s recover the game as key element for learning, and let us surprise ourselves with the same innocence as when we were children. Let’s open our eyes to this fascinating world! Peekaboo!
