Kohnstamm school

We had the pleasure of contributing to the light festival at the Kohnstamschool in Utrecht. Since the children of our projectmanager attend the school, we felt very motivated to do something extra, which resulted in some amazing projection techniques and workshops where the kids created their own content . Together with the students, teachers, parent council, and culture committee, we turned it into a fantastic evening. There was singing, live light drawing, and we all gathered together—over 300 people. With all the parents, the seniors from across the street, and plenty of hot chocolate and mulled wine, the celebration was complete. It truly was a light in the dark times. This will definitely become a tradition. So proud of everyone involved. Huge thanks to all!
