Zarpe numa aventura musical onde os sons e as histórias de Portugal ganham vida! Este workshop convida as crianças e as suas famílias a descobrir um mundo de canções cativantes, ritmos divertidos e palavras lúdicas em português. Desde dançar livremente até fazer sons onomatopaicos, os pequenos exploradores vão descobrir como a música nos pode ajudar a expressarmo-nos e a compreender o mundo que nos rodeia. Seguindo o antigo ditado português de que “quem canta seus males espanta”, convidamos pais e filhos a cantar em voz alta, criando memórias felizes e laços fortes através da magia de brincar.

Set sail on a musical adventure where the sounds and stories of Portugal come to life!
This workshop invites children and their families to discover a world of catchy songs, fun rhythms and playful Portuguese words. From dancing freely to making silly sounds, little explorers will find out how music can help us express ourselves and understand the world around us. Following the old Portuguese saying that “singing scares away troubles,” we invite parents and children to sing out loud together, building happy memories and strong bonds through the magic of play.
