Holiday care and summer schools for children and young people at the Center Rog

Summer at Center Rog and the Park of the Erased will be lively, creative, and full of play. In collaboration with our partner organizations, we have prepared five different programs, which will run in 15 sessions throughout the summer holidays.

Together with Digital School, we are organizing two different programs focused on the basics of programming: GameLab: 3D Worlds, Minecraft, and AI is designed for children aged 7 to 10, while FutureLab: 3D Creation, Design, and AI is intended for youth aged 10 to 16.

In collaboration with Mala ulica, we are offering three different programs for children aged 7 to 10 years: Mala ulica Holidays in the Center Rog Labs,
Let’s Make a Movie! and Threads, Fabric, and Hands for Kids.

Check out the dates and brief program descriptions below. Registrations are handled by Digital School and Mala ulica, for more information and to register click the link under each program description.

The morning programme is designed to give children basic computer skills, shortcuts, programming, spatial representation through 3D design and how artificial intelligence can help them create and solve challenges. We will bring together several modern tools such as Code.org and Minecraft Education for coding, CodeHatchXR for design and animation, and various AI tools to raise children's digital competences. The full-day programme also includes workshops in the Center Rog's production labs, where we will create with clay, learn about the world under the microscope and how to design jewellery out of metal, build and race toy cars on a race track and cook our own lunch.

We will also create in the jewellery lab and in the woodworking and metalworking labs. Each day we will prepare a snack together and one day we will try our hand at cooking a delicious lunch. There will also be time to visit the Rog Library, play board games, free play on the outdoor platform and explore the Center Rog.

Join us for a holiday exploration of the magical world of animation - the art of bringing the inanimate to life! We will learn the basic rules of moving images and try our hand at animating anything that comes to hand! We'll hunt for hidden animated images around the city and create animations in Fablab (a workshop with various digital production tools). At the end of the week, we'll put everything we've created together in a collage of inspiring animations and set them to music.

Our creative paths will lead us to the Rog Library, and perhaps we will also take a peek into the archives of the Slovenian Cinematheque, where treasures of Slovenian animated film and optical toys are kept. In addition to animation, we will also spend time creating with our hands (embroidery, crochet, sewing), play board games and enjoy relaxed play on the outdoor platform of the Center Rog.

• Mala ulica: let's play a movie (7-10 years)

Date:

25. 8. – 29. 8. 2025

Under the guidance of Nina Vastl Štefa, architect, textile artist and mother of 4 children, we will learn life skills through play and creativity that are almost unheard of elsewhere. The Center Rog, with its diversity, provides a safe, inspiring and stimulating space to explore the world of materials, food, colours and natural processes. We will dedicate a week to creating with our hands - dyeing fabric, sewing, carving wood and exploring natural materials. Each day we will prepare a simple, homemade breakfast and lunch ourselves in the cooking lab. In the textile lab, we'll use natural linen to create our own piece of clothing - a dress, a T-shirt or a bag. We will dye the fabric with natural dyes, cut it and sew it by hand. We will learn the basics of sewing, cutting and felting. In the woodworking lab we will make wooden buttons, in the green lab we will explore the possibilities of dyeing with fruit peelings and recycling food scraps. Cooking will be a daily part of the programme, focusing on simple dishes we love.
