A start without pressure
A simple first task introduces the material. Participation can grow as people feel more comfortable with the group.
PROGRAMMES / COMMUNITYMany hands.
Many hands.
One story.
Some connections begin simply: sit together, pick up a plank and add an idea. KAPLA gives different generations a reason to create, start a conversation and discover what they can achieve together.

FAMILIES, ASSOCIATIONS AND ALL GENERATIONSThe right space
The right space
for your idea.
For associations, family centres, faith communities and organisers of community gatherings. We can plan a quieter workshop for a fixed group or an open format that people join gradually. Pace, age groups and support needs are agreed beforehand.
Generations as partners
Children and adults can contribute ideas, build and help each other. Age does not have to determine anyone’s role.
A shared memory
At the end, we look at the creation and everyone’s contribution. What matters is the connection made while building.
Different ways to take part
Building, sorting, imagining or describing: with agreed adaptations, participants can find a task that suits them.
Conversation through a shared task
Not every encounter needs to start with an introduction to the whole group. A question about a tower or bridge can be a natural opening for conversation.
A theme from your community
A neighbourhood, shared garden or association’s story can become the building theme. Participants can recognise something of their own lives in the shared creation.
A gathering shaped around your community.
A good gathering starts with listening. Together, we choose a theme, pace and setting that help your group feel welcome.
Get to know the group
Beforehand, we discuss ages, interests, access and support. We agree who accompanies children and whom participants can approach.
Find a starting point
A brief shared demonstration leads to small tasks. Some participants develop their own ideas; others receive a clear next step when they need a prompt.
Finish together
We look at the structures and hear their stories. Dismantling and tidying up become a shared ending at a pace that suits the group.
ONE POSSIBLE STORYWhat could it
What could it
look like?
Imagine a gathering where families build their own little neighbourhoods. Paths, bridges and squares gradually connect them. At the end, we walk through the town together and listen to its builders’ stories.
This example is a starting point for discussion. We shape every workshop around the group.

MORE POSSIBILITIES FOR YOUR GROUP
Youth groups and holiday building
For youth groups, families and holiday programmes, we combine guided building with free creation. Shorter workshops can run consecutively; a full-day gathering can include two shared structures, breaks and a final viewing with parents. Ages, group size and the support required are agreed beforehand.
GOOD TO KNOW
Your questions.
How does shared building begin?
After a short introduction, the group creates a shared structure. Participants contribute according to their abilities, with no experience required.
How is participation adapted?
We consider motor and cognitive needs, accessible work surfaces, pace and support. Venue accessibility is checked separately.
Which skills are encouraged?
Community spirit, respect, open communication, creativity, fine motor skills and intercultural exchange.
How long does a session last?
From sessions of 60 minutes to half or full days. Duration and breaks are adapted to the group and occasion.
What kind of space is needed?
A group or community room with clear building space. We bring planks and the agreed equipment; access and work surfaces are checked in advance.
Can we choose our own theme?
Yes, for example inclusion, an intercultural gathering, a celebration or an anniversary.
Where do programmes take place?
We are based in Makarska. For a workshop at a school, organisation or event, tell us the location; travel and arrangements are agreed individually.
How is the price calculated?
According to duration, participant numbers and travel. A no-obligation quotation is prepared once the scope has been discussed.
How do we arrange a date?
Contact us by email or phone. The date, content and arrangements are confirmed together; submitting an enquiry on this website is not a booking.
