education, integration, emancipation through the arts

Convictions

Artistic and cultural practices are
a powerful lever for education and social cohesion,
a vector of awakening and emancipation.

Artistic and cultural practices reinforce cognitive development and the acquisition of knowledge, and also contribute to social adaptability, helping to build a personal and collective identity.

They are, therefore, particularly suited to vulnerable, disadvantaged groups and/or those with educational, social or family difficulties, Whatever the age group – toddlers, children, young people and their families – because they are based on other ways of learning knowledge (know-how and interpersonal skills) and other forms of experimentation, expression and language.

They are based on the concrete, the sensitive, the emotional, the aesthetic, or the lived experience , and they help us to feel in our place, to allow ourselves to participate, to be actors, to take ownership.

Foujita, 1929

« Seule la force de l’art peut dépasser les frontières et les barrières raciales pour pénétrer dans le cœur de l’homme. Dans l’amitié entre deux pays, le plus utile des échanges est celui des artistes. Voilà pourquoi, j’ai travaillé tous les jours de ma vie même si les gens ont tendance à dire : ''mais ce n’est seulement qu’un peintre !'' »
Drawing, painting, singing, dance, theater, writing, music, photography, video…
