During each school holiday period, the educational team of the Shoah Memorial offers various workshops for children adapted to the concerns and sensitivity of young audiences. Designed mostly around an artistic practice, they awaken the creativity of children aged 8 to 12. These workshops, which avoid a frontal approach to the history of the Shoah, stimulate their curiosity about history and their interest in civic values. Through music, cinema, children’s literature or even tales, children take on the subject in a new way.
What do we remember about the past? In the 20th century, Picasso, Chagall and Boltanski tried to answer this question with their works. Through a game of assembly and disassembly, children discover the paintings and installations of these artists, then are led to propose their own interpretation of the past.
