About us
Who we are
Evangelia Sarafidou
My name is Evangelia Sarafidou.
I graduated from the Department of Early Childhood Education at the International Hellenic University in Thessaloniki, where I gained a strong theoretical and practical foundation in education. Currently, I am continuing my academic journey with postgraduate studies in Educational Leadership and Administration, aiming to enhance my knowledge and skills in strategic planning and leadership in educational settings.
My love for children and my inherent creativity motivated me to pursue a career in education. With passion and dedication, I strive to positively contribute to the development of children by creating a supportive and inspiring learning environment.
- **Person-Centered Education**: I focus on developing each child's individual skills and needs, adapting my teaching to enhance their self-confidence and highlight their unique abilities.
- **Creativity and Innovation**: I encourage creative thinking and innovation in the educational process, using interactive and experimental learning methods that keep children engaged.
- **Collaboration and Participation**: I promote collaborative learning through group activities and participatory processes, helping children develop social skills and learn the value of teamwork.
- Safe and Supportive Environment: I establish a secure and nurturing learning environment where children feel comfortable expressing their thoughts, experimenting with new ideas, and developing both emotionally and cognitively.

"ArtUp offers workshops with a variety of activities. Unlike other options that focus solely on gymnastics, arts and crafts, or sensory play, our workshops combine all these activities into a comprehensive experience. Our goal is to provide even more joy and play for children, enhancing their development through a multidimensional and fun approach."
Our goals
At Art Up, our goal is to expand our team and build a vibrant community in Luxembourg that shares a passion for creativity and artistic expression. We aim to inspire and nurture a love for art through imaginative play and freedom of expression, fostering a space where creativity flourishes. Join us in creating a dynamic network dedicated to exploring and celebrating the arts!
Our Philosophy
our philosophy centers on respecting each child’s individuality and acknowledging their role as active architects of their own learning journey. We embrace a Reggio-inspired approach, viewing each child as unique, capable, and full of potential. Our environment encourages self-directed exploration, where children’s voices, passions, and curiosities guide their understanding of the world. We prioritize symbolic representation by offering diverse creative media and activities, allowing children to express their ideas and emotions through various forms such as visual arts, drama, and movement.
Our project-based approach allows children to engage in long-term, interest-driven projects, fostering problem-solving skills and creativity. We believe in the importance of time, with projects evolving and deepening through ongoing exploration and revisiting ideas.
Facilitators at Art Up serve as partners in learning, acting as resources who document and respond to children’s work, guiding the curriculum based on their interests and developmental needs.
