Our summer festival 2024

This past summer, we invited families raising a disabled or seriously ill child to get creative and join our Discover Digital summer festival online. Children had a chance to learn new skills, socialise and have a good time during summer holidays.

In this 2024 edition, all children could access all workshops, no matter their age, abilities, and experiences. Also, we made three of our festival workshops multiplatform, so children could join the sessions from the device most suited to them (Android tablet, iPad or PC). And as usual, the sessions were free and all apps we used were free to download.
