ARQUIKIDS is collaboration with AIA Philadelphia Foundation, are organizing an exchange workshop call EXPLORING OUR CITIES, Marbella and Philadelphia
Swan International Primary School, Marbella, Spain

The aim of this project is not to get the children playing at being architects; rather, it is to offer children access to the different delights and possibilities that architecture and the city may offer them.
Goals:
· Introduce and compare local versus foreign architecture
· Learn about another country, culture, history, geography and customs
· See how we are alike as well as different
· Inspire additional education related to everyday life
· Learn to observe and understand the built environment
· Explore and understand the urban design process
