We are watching children's films and embark on an adventure seeking a hidden green treasure, at the children's workshop hosted by WWF Greece. In Edipsos, 17-year-old Pablo Soto Gonzalez, filmmaker, screenwriter, actor, musician, choreographer and highschool student at the Athens Art School, will speak to students on how to write, direct and promote a film at the festival circuit and online.
Hunters of the Green Treasure
WWF Greece will host a children’s workshop titled “Hunters of the Green Treasure” in Edipsos, on Thursday July 4th, inviting children to discover the hidden green treasure. During a fascinating walk in Edipsos, children are called to discover the next station, while solving puzzles, passing through tests and making it all the way to the finish line as winners. The workshop is carried out by WWF Greece animator Eleni Svoronou, in collaboration with preschool teacher Lilian Douma and thanks to the valuable help offered by volunteers and friends of the festival from Edipsos.
