On May 9, 2022, Patrick Chartroux and Claude Garrandes went to the Sainte Marie de Chavagnes school in Cannes, to carry out “Alba” workshops.

These workshops aim to promote writing, discovery and artistic creation.

All the students of the establishment, from 'Petites Sections 'to 'CM2', took part in this exceptional day, depending on their level.

Introduction to Braille, transcription work, creative writing, discovery of the art book ‘Aurore’, imagination work around illustrations, etc.

The opportunity for these young sighted people to discover how their blind comrades read, write, and illustrate.

We are not used to working with such large groups (260 students!), however the kindness of the teaching team, as well as the open-mindedness of the young students, and their involvement in the workshops, helped make this day a total success.

Thank you to the establishment for the quality of its welcome and to our sponsors and donors – in particular the Crédit Mutuel Foundation, and the GMF Mutual Aid Fund, who make these workshops possible!
