The fifth season of the "Little Baron" summer camp kicks off at Baron Empain Palace

The fifth season of the "Little Baron" summer camp for children has begun at Baron Empain Palace in Heliopolis. This year's theme is "Visual Artist," and the camp is organized by the palace in collaboration with the Faculty of Applied Arts at Badr University in Cairo. This initiative is part of the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities' efforts to raise archaeological and cultural awareness among young people and strengthen their connection to Egyptian heritage through innovative educational and interactive programs.

Twenty children are participating in the camp, where they will receive a diverse range of artistic and cultural workshops and practical activities throughout the program. These activities blend art and heritage, contributing to the development of their creative abilities and honing their artistic skills in a stimulating learning environment that fosters innovation.

Dr. Basma Selim, Director of Baron Empain Palace, explained that the first day included an introductory lecture on the visual arts and their role in developing creativity and manual skills in children. The lecture also introduced the art of jewelry, its history, and the evolution of its uses throughout the ages. The participants also learned about the tools and materials used in jewelry design, drawing inspiration from the Indian motifs and symbols that characterize the architectural and decorative elements of Baron Empain Palace. They then applied their learning practically by designing and creating a collection of jewelry pieces using metal wire and colored beads.

The program included a tour of the palace, during which the children learned about its history, its founder, and its architectural and artistic value. This helped bridge the gap between theory and practice, reinforcing an awareness of the value of cultural heritage and the importance of preserving it.
