Education program

The (re)connecting.earth project is accompanied by an educational program aimed at pupils aged 8 to 18. The aim of the program is to develop a sustainable initiative that raises awareness of environmental issues through art, by means of participatory workshops in the classroom and a touring collective exhibition moving from school to school.

Workshops Duchamp at ...

The Duchamp au Jardin and Duchamp au Lac workshops allow children and young people to combine artistic and scientific approaches to urban ecology and sustainability, and to experiment with different ways of engaging with nature.

Each workshop begins with instructions created by artists for the (re)connecting.earth Biennial. After the first two sessions of the classroom workshops, students create their own instructions to encourage reconnecting with the living world.

Children’s Exhibition

To enrich the artistic experience and share the knowledge gained during the Duchamp au Jardin and Duchamp au Lac workshops, the art-werk association has created a traveling exhibition kit. Comprising informational panels and selected works of art, the kit is installed in schools for a few weeks.

The students’ work is exhibited at the end of the school term with an opening reception, a moment of sharing where parents and friends are invited to discover the students’ creations.

Custom Workshops

The works created by the artists offer numerous opportunities to engage with the nature around us in a sensitive or surprising way.

We design custom workshops for audiences with special needs, offering programs tailored to their cognitive and expressive abilities.
