„From a stumbling block...to a growing movement chain“ - concept and realization of an artistic education project, promoted by the government of the federal state NRW and the city of Düsseldorf. Within this project, children and also their teachers got the task to construct a ‚movement chain’. Out of various everyday objects, they built a chain in which a single impulse would start ‚moving’ and one object gets in touch with another one – like a domino effect.

– „Movement chain“ - Start of the adventure: Taking a look at the building material

– „Movement chain“ - pupils assignment: construct a possibly long ‚movement chain’ out of everyday objects, that get into movement once one object has been touched and then causes a chain reaction (domino effect)

– „Movement chain“ - its all about ideas and teamwork to make up and construct a possible long and exciting ‚movement chain’

„The wonderful world of color", Concept and realization of an artistic education project corresponding the subject “colours" in cooperation with one primary school and three day cares in Düsseldorf, Germany. For that project, the KREO team worked with school kids and kindergartners in a joined group, making them experiment with colours in a ‚laboratory’. That way, the kids learn and experience among others what happens when different colours merge. This project is promoted by the government of the federal state NRW.
