They are a creative space for children to express themselves through different artistic disciplines on diversity, equal opportunities, how the media shape their beliefs and practices about the role of women and girls , men and children, and helps them shape their identity free of stereotypes and gender divisions, unprejudiced, incorporating values of social inclusion, equality and non-discrimination from early childhood.
