In the “Radītava” workshops, pupils learn by doing – they discover the properties of materials, learn how to use tools, plan the sequence of tasks and bring their ideas to life.
Hands-on work develops creativity, precision, technical thinking and problem-solving skills.
When constructing wooden structures and making musical instruments, pupils also learn about various technical solutions and explore how the design of an object affects its function.
The content of specific sessions can be adapted to the pupils’ age and agreed with the teacher, linking the practical work to the curriculum topics.
