Leonardo 4 Children Summer School 2026 is an immersive educational programme designed to inspire creativity, curiosity, and collaboration through the themes of climate, equality, and peace. Taking place between Florence and Vinci from 29 June to 2 July 2026, the programme brings together cultural institutions, educators, artists, and researchers to offer a unique interdisciplinary learning experience for young participants.
The Summer School welcomes children aged 6–12 and young people aged 13–18, offering a rich programme of workshops, museum visits, and hands-on activities inspired by the worlds of art, science, music, design, theatre, and innovation.
Participants will begin their journey at the Museo Leonardiano in Vinci, exploring the life, inventions, and enduring legacy of Leonardo da Vinci through guided visits and educational activities. The programme then continues in Florence at the Fondazione Zeffirelli, where students will engage in workshops inspired by the artistic vision of Franco Zeffirelli, including cinema, opera, theatre, music, visual arts, restoration, design, and applied arts.
The Summer School is organised by Leonardo 4 Children and Fondazione Carano 4 Children in collaboration with the Museo Leonardiano di Vinci and Fondazione Zeffirelli. Among the contributors are educators from the Museo Leonardiano, Fondazione Zeffirelli, Erika Zoi, Gisella Cosi, Marina Calamai, and Jane Adams.
Through creativity, cultural exchange, and hands-on learning, Leonardo 4 Children Summer School encourages participants to develop new skills, explore their artistic potential, and engage with the values of inclusion, sustainability, and peace.
