Children are always the future of every nation, and that’s why at Live Room, we are deeply committed to helping them build character through meaningful activities and creative workshops. This commitment inspired the Solidarity Club to take things even further this year by launching an outreach initiative in three public schools, where they organized in-school workshops throughout the academic year to connect with children who often have limited access to such opportunities.

As part of this growing effort for the second consecutive year, the Art and Technology Week returned in 2025 with a special edition. Typically reserved for participants of our children’s programs, this year’s event was opened up to include students from partner public schools. This was made possible through the collaboration of the American Language Center, La Estación de la Ciencia y la Tecnología de Burgos, and our own Solidarity Club.

Throughout the week, five engaging training programs were offered:

• Drawing and Painting: Two groups of 12 children competed over five days to create two large collaborative paintings, which were later showcased in a public exhibition. The creative energy and teamwork made this a highlight of the event.
• Handcraft: In this program, two groups of 8 children worked with two teachers per group across four days to produce original handcrafted pieces using recyclable materials, clay, and mixed techniques. The results demonstrated patience, precision, and personal expression.
• Voiceover: This fun and imaginative workshop gave children the chance to re-voice a famous cartoon. Each group of 6 participants, led by a coach, selected a character, wrote a short script in Arabic or Darija, and recorded their voices in our studio. The final edited videos were shown during the closing event, where the audience voted for their favorite team.
• Theatre: Two groups of 10 children each were invited to create and perform an original theatre piece. Over five days, and with the guidance of two theatre coaches per group, the children developed stories, characters, and staging. The performances were presented in front of families and friends on the final day.
• Robotics: Each group of 6 participants, led by a teacher, spent the week designing and building robotic fighters for a final robot wrestling challenge. The goal? Build a robot that could stay in the ring the longest. The matches were exciting and demonstrated just how much innovation and teamwork can happen in just five days.

Final Showcase: A Celebration of Talent and Teamwork

The Art & Tech Week came to a close with a vibrant public showcase event, where all participating children presented the results of their hard work. Family members, school staff, and community partners gathered at LABO to witness the performances, exhibitions, and screenings created throughout the week.

Each program had the chance to shine: the paintings were unveiled, handcrafts displayed, voiceover cartoons screened, theatre pieces performed live, and the robotic wrestling tournament held the audience in suspense until the last match…
A winning team was selected from each program, based on creativity, collaboration, and audience engagement, but the real victory was in the confidence, joy, and pride shown by every child who took part.

The final day didn’t just celebrate artistic outcomes — it celebrated the power of opportunity, inclusion, and shared achievement. It was a reminder of how far young people can go when they are given the space, support, and encouragement to express themselves.
