Children workshops

Our aim is to heighten people’s awareness (in both adults and children) of :
1. differences
2. the means used by the blind to overcome their handicap
3. Braille writing
4. tactile pictures

Our workshops and activities are adapted according to :
1. a theme
2. the ages of the participants
3. the schedule
4. the number of participants
5. the activities (for school, book fair, etc.)
6. the location (indoors, in the open)

The title of the workshop is based on these criteria: (for instance)
-"To feel your way along" to discover relief (writing & pictures)
-"Let's Braille together"
-"Tell me about you, with touch"
and so on…

Activities are run on a recreational basis with:
simulation glasses
suitably adapted equipment
exchanges
DIY

Workshops may have a dominant idea, about:
-daily life of the blind
-sensorial notions
-handcraft / art activities
