An integral part of the Edinburgh Mela. In keeping with the spirit of the Mela, the event was designed to encourage visitors, staff and volunteers to participate in as many of the celebratory, artistic and cultural activities as possible. The Kidzone incorporated a number of different spaces, within which there were different multi-sensory, hands-on activities and experiences aimed specifically at children aged between 5 and 11 years and their families. All areas were highly interactive and full of opportunities for children and adults to relax and learn together as families. There was also a programme of activities specifically targeted at Under 5’s.
