We are repeating last year's playground success and organizing the holiday school "Step by Step" at Biblo Tøyen. An architecture workshop for young people with reuse and self-construction as the main themes. "Step by Step" is an exploratory project for children focusing on the seven senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and the sense of balance and position) and builds upon last year's playground. Playgrounds are an important place in children's lives and necessary for the development of cognitive senses. JAM Collective will help emphasize that there are many ways to play and use our bodies to build different modules tailored to our various physical needs and differences.

No prior knowledge is required, and it is best suited for children aged 10 to 15. It is possible to join for one or several days.

JAM Collective is a meeting place that is open and works locally in Oslo with creative support and empowerment.
