"Step by Step" is an exploratory project for children, focusing on the seven senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, balance, and proprioception). The workshop will be conducted by JAM Collective in collaboration with ROM Ung.

Playgrounds are important spaces in children's lives and are necessary for the development of cognitive senses. JAM Collective aims to emphasize that there are many ways to play and use our bodies to build different modules that cater to our diverse physical needs and differences.

JAM Collective is an open and locally based platform in Oslo that provides creative support and self-empowerment. Through events and workshops, they actively engage in the production, creation, and circulation of resources and facilities to support non-linear creative learning and experiences for children and adults.
