Throughout the 2024/2025 school year, Marres will be organizing workshops for all grade levels at Kindcentrum Dynamiek. These tailor-made workshops align with the school’s CNAL (Creative Curious Active Learning) themes.

Building and Living

This series of interactive workshops takes young students on a sensory and creative journey through the themes of building and living. Through play, observation, movement, and imagination, they will explore their surroundings and materials in new and engaging ways. All workshops are inspired by the work of Alejandro Galván, which the students will also experience firsthand during a visit to Marres.

SenseSquared

In recent years, Marres has developed a method through the international collaboration project SenseSquared to encourage an artistic approach to education. This method will be part of the collaboration with Dynamiek.

Discover Vultures & Fireflies by Alejandro Galván

Extended: Adventures in Slumberland

Extended started with the four-month art project Adventures in Slumberland on 15 March 2025 with a new group of members.

In this new workshop series, Extended takes young people on a creative journey of discovery. They’ll explore the magical, beautiful—and sometimes scary—world of dreams and nightmares. Dreams are more than just weird stories in your head. They let you imagine other worlds, escape the chaos of everyday life, and they can even help you come up with fresh ideas. What if you could use your imagination to actually change something?

In the spring of 2025, Extended dives deep into the world of dreams. These workshops are inspired by Mexican artist Alejandro Galván, whose exhibition Vultures & Fireflies creates a colorful dream world. His art blends stories from his neighborhood with myths, comics, and gaming culture—where fantasy and reality merge.

With the help of artists, a coach, and the facilities of Marres and the Jan van Eyck Academie, you’ll have the chance to create and shape your own dream world.

Extended exhibition ‘mind and matter’

Extended would love to invite you to the exhibition mind and matter, which the Extended members had the pleasure of creating and curating. They have made artworks that relate to themes of memory, the body and soul, the intangible and the physical. Putting into practice everything we have seen, studied, and encountered over the last couple of weeks, the exhibition is a beautiful memoir of our experiences during the Extended program.
