Heritage education allows different actors and especially youngsters to discover medieval art and construction in a playful way.
Workshops are organised to teach calligraphy, stone cutting, mosaic, modelling or stained glass.
Those worksops are also proposed during the European Heritage Days.
These actions are carried out in multiple settings: schools, associations, local authorities, state public institutions etc., in metropolitan France and overseas. The association sets them up at the request of these organizations.
They can be dedicated to children as well as adults..
They are supported by the Regional Directorates of Cultural Affairs (DRAC), local authorities, the Departmental Directorates of Social Cohesion (DDCS) and the Regional Directorates of Youth, Sports and Social Cohesion (DRJSCS).
workshops
The practice of a workshop develops over one or more sessions. These workshops can be related to the school programs of history, French, plastic arts etc. or in the form of awakening activities.
These educational workshops are carried out at the request of schools or leisure associations, particularly in the context of the adjustment of school rhythms or other.
