Workshops for various ages
We are glad to reopen Diógenes with a programme dedicated to Mexican culture and a tradition that pays homage to those who came before us. During November we will be inspired by Mexico; afterwards, starting in January, we will offer our workshops with other diverse themes, quarterly, throughout the school year.
Our intergenerational workshops are open to the participation of children, youth and adults, including elderly. It is a space for coexistence and enjoyment where ages are mixed, learning from each other and seeing each other as equals while participating side by side.

We will explore our voice through Mexican songs that will allow us to delve into the celebration of the Day of the Dead, as well as the diversity of traditional music in Mexico. We will also venture into some of the 68 languages that are currently spoken in Mexican territory and that have endured for centuries thanks to the indigenous communities and peoples.

As if this was a trip, with these workshops we are introduced to a culture through its food, taken by the hand of a person originally from there; in this case: Mexico. Come and discover how are their markets, their 'tianguis', their streets full of street vendors and experience preparing some of their typical foods, such as corn tortillas or the well known guacamole.
In our workshops we encourage:
Creativity
Emotional management
Coexistence
Interculturality
Day of the Dead Offering
Dedicated to migrant women murdered by femicide
In collaboration with Trenzadas
Saturday, November 1st, 12:00 - 14:00 hrs

Come and assemble your own ofrenda
This November 1st we invite you to join the Day of the Dead tradition by remembering your loved ones in a collective ofrenda; you can bring a photo, an object, food or drink that the person you are remembering loved.
This activity is open to the general public. If your family has recently experienced the loss of a friend or relative and would like to do the activity as a private group, please contact us to reserve a specific time.
