My City Celebrates!

Christmas Camp for Children Aged 5-10

At the annual Christmas Camp that the B&E Goulandris Foundation is running for yet another year, children aged 5 to 10 will have the opportunity to end the year in a fun and creative way!

From December 27 to 31, at the Christmas Camp My city celebrates! children will explore works of art from the Foundation’s Collection and will gain a different urban landscape perspective: what would their city look like if their imagination took over this holiday season? For this year’s Camp, the Foundation joins forces with the Athens Conservatoire and distinguished composer and director of the Conservatoire’s Music Schools Philippos Tsalahouris for two special meetings, where children will get acquainted with musical instruments and discover the more subtle aspects of music.

The Christmas Camp takes place in Greek.
