The children of the school La Quitxalla in Mollerusa (Spain), between 2 and 3 years old, have been learning about the world of Information and Comunication Technology (ICT) in their classrooms. For a few days, they have been enjoying photography workshops, recordings and film projections among other activities, which included learning what is elmur.net and why it is done. Also parents have been invited to meet this non-profit audiovisual project. The youngest, with help of their tutors and teachers, have made a video and shared it at elmur.net web platform: Art. Doing that, they have become the youngest creadors who have ever participated at elmur.net, true digital natives in action! Art is an example of how children can learn from visual and artistic creation and how elmur.net can be used as a teaching tool in schools. Over the next few days, the neighbours and citizens of Lleida would be able to enjoy the video which will be projected on the facade of the Fundació Ferreruela Sanfeliu in Spain, every evening between 19:00 and 23:00 hours. Art, can be also be seen at elmur.net video Gallery under the following link: Art
