Thanks to its exceptionally rich heritage, the city of Avignon has a unique potential to illustrate the main periods of Western artistic life. Students from Avignon and Greater Avignon thus have access, with their teachers, to a very extensive catalogue of activities to better know and understand the history of their territory. Many possibilities also exist for students outside Greater Avignon*.
Program of workshops and visits
Throughout the school year, the educational service facilitators offer you (for students from Avignon and Greater Avignon only) :
- A work room in a prestigious location, in the heart of the largest Gothic palace!
- A competent service, made up of a cultural mediator and tour guides.
- High-performance tools at the service of genuine heritage education.
- A follow-up of the works and a permanent advice.
- Great mobility: staff can work in schools or during educational outings.
- Heritage initiation workshops, where the technical approach to the arts is accompanied by manipulations and promotes an interdisciplinary cultural openness.
- Formulas that take into account the school level, the time available to the group, and themes relating to school programs.
Some examples :
- One hour visit history and architecture + one hour of workshop with manipulation of blocks allowing the understanding of the construction of a vault.
- One hour visit to the Middle Ages decorations with a bestiary workshop.
Gastronomy, sculpture, painting, ceramics, fashion... Other themes can also be covered: let's get in touch to build your educational project together!
