Kopa goes for creativity. For them, creativity is more than making something beautiful. It is also thinking outside the box, making connections and seeing possibilities. The core of creativity is daring to try, being allowed to fail and allowing new ideas to arise. Creativity is the basis of all activities and both goal and way of working. Kopa believes that experiencing your own creativity has enormous power, which teaches you to think in terms of possibilities and encourages you to shape your own life.

One of their projects is Chilling with heritage. From the manifesto on the website you can see how their way of working encourages children to imagine a sustainable future: Chillen met erfgoed – KOPA (kopakan.nl)
