Aldous Huxley Centre opened a children's club exhibition at EBS

Aldous Huxley keskuse lasteklubi näitus
Aldous Huxley Centre's Children's Philosophy, Literature, and Art Club for 7–13-year-olds launched last autumn. The aim of the club’s activities is to inspire children to read books, express their thoughts, and paint in order to develop the cooperation of different senses. The Aldous Huxley Centre was established in collaboration between Estonian Business School and the Edmund Burke Society.

"One sees clearly only with the heart. What is essential is invisible to the eye." — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

 

Our activities with children take place in a small and friendly group in the atrium space on the fifth floor of the Estonian Business School. Participation is voluntary, and all activities are conducted on-site with the children. There are no homework assignments, nor is there an obligation to read books. We come together to learn how to collaborate and help one another, to have a great time, and to create something meaningful – the joy of a child’s own creation.

 

Club Leader Kaie Metsla:
"Our book for the first season was Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince. All the artworks displayed in today's exhibition have been created by children as they reflected on The Little Prince and discussed his fascinating journey. We explored what the author wanted to convey, how the text made us feel, and which profound philosophical questions it raised. We engaged in discussions and expressed our thoughts through creative activities. Each session, we conducted small and simple methodical painting exercises, resulting in pastel or watercolour paintings. Today, you have the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful exhibition of children's artworks."

 

The exhibition features works by:
Marie Sarah Andresson (11), Mark Radman (12), Alex Radman (13), Ciara Rica Laanetu (6), Mona Natalie Meos (7), Kirsi Emilie Tammis (9), and Georgi Korjagin (10).
