Representing Eindhoven, four families ๐ช with children participated in our boat event, realizing a shared vision: "The Ancient Sadhaba Traders." Over one week, we constructed the boat using cardboard, cloth, and thermocol for buoyancy. The concept involved depicting the historical trade of art, ceramics, and spices, heavily integrating Odia cultural elements through drawings and physical props, such as a treasure box with jewelry, a small hut made from pipes and string, and traditional offerings. A particularly memorable and special experience was the collaborative process with the kids , answering their questions and researching historical details, like trying (unsuccessfully) to confirm the historical depiction of the sun symbol on the Kalinga flag.
