Superniños

In the first of a series of workshops we asked the children to think about their own special abilities and to use these very same abilities to imagine and create a superhero. Many of the children we work with suffer from low self esteem, so we set out to encourage them to take pride in themselves and their abilities.

Some of the children with particularly low confidence needed a lot of encouragement to share or even think about what they were good at but everyone managed to create their own personal superhero with some fantastic ideas created by the end of the sessions. We were particularly struck by Madeline aka Super Lectura who loves reading and decided that her super power would be to help other children to learn to read as well. Super Carlos was very quick to declare his prowess at hide and seek so has now designed a cape that changes colour to blend in with any background. Another boy named Jesus couldn´t think what to do but when his brother pointed out how much TV he watched he decided that he would follow the news all over the world in order to know where to go to help people in need, henceforth he became known as Super TV.
