The Development House is a house for children, teenagers and adults. In its space, we organized painting and handicraft workshops, primary and high school. We have created a friendly place for families in home education. We located all this and many other activities in a house in the middle of Olsztyn. The real house. With garden. With dogs with proud names: Toast and Crisp. And somewhere on the outskirts of this house we also live. Because it's a real home.

METRO O1O is a graphic novel about important historical events that impacted how Rotterdam developed and made it what it is today. The story starts back in 1270, when the city was no more than a fishing village, and ends in 2050, with visions of what the future might bring. Rotterdam was not created in a single moment, by a single person, but was made over the centuries, by many. METRO O1O is an invitation for young people to get to know and explore the city. Again and again, day in, day out.

NA DIVJE is an activity for children in nature that takes place in all seasons and in all weather. The focus is on getting to know nature, free play, relaxed learning, acquiring skills and one’s own inner strength and friendship. NA DIVJE uses nature and offers children at a sensitive age, when they are receptive to the natural world and the people around them, an exit from the world between four walls into a world of trees, fertile soil, animal teachers and shelters of imagination.

During summer, Openstreets transforms the streets of Molenbeek into a learning lab for a climate-friendly and inclusive city.

They are also invited to rethink their streets and the public space, by implementing micro-interventions and by participating in holistic design workshops and a summerschool.
