About the Host
De Corro en Corro is a cultural and educational project dedicated to researching, collecting, and activating traditional games from Spain. For over three years, we have been learning from local communities, documenting traditional play practices, and transforming them into participatory workshops and playful experiences.
Our format allows us to connect with people of all ages, adapt each game to different audiences and contexts, and encourage meaningful social interaction through play. We place strong emphasis on sustainability, using simple and environmentally responsible materials while preserving the cultural value and storytelling embedded in traditional games.
