CHILDREN’S DRAWINGS

The children of Rindal are important users of the culture path.

And for the town it is a goal to provide an interesting community

for the children growing up. Looking for inspiration and

guidance we travelled to Rindal to get to know the children.

In Rindal we worked with the children in three different age

groups. When we talked with them about space and the stars

they became very excited, often bombarding us with questions

like what is the speed of light and if aliens exist. We provided

them with answers to the best of our knowledge. One group

showed a slideshow to the kids to set them in the right mood,

while another group read mythical stories about the stars. The

children often shared their own experiences of gazing up at the

stars. One group asked the children to draw blindly with white

crayons and then painted over this to reveal the image drawn.
