An innovative partnership between Atelier de Sèvres and WWF France to protect the environment
L'Atelier de Sèvres and WWF France are joining forces for an ambitious educational project. This collaboration aims to raise awareness among young people about biodiversity conservation through photography workshops. Students in the Bachelor of Arts & Image program share their passion for art while raising children's awareness of environmental issues. Through the WWF Gardening School, participating schools discover nature in a different way. These creative workshops combine artistic practice with ecological learning, for a lasting impact on future generations.
The Bachelor's Degree in Art & Image: training artists committed to tackling climate change
The Bachelor of Arts & Image program at Atelier de Sèvres trains artists to take action on climate issues. By combining creativity and awareness, it embeds commitment in artistic practice.This partnership allows our students to develop a range of skills, providing them with the opportunity to combine art and environmental commitment:
- Photography: technical mastery and artistic vision of living things.
- Teaching: ability to convey complex messages to a young audience in a fun way.
- Ecology: a deep understanding of environmental issues and the ability to embody them.
- Professionalization: a concrete project to enrich their portfolio and expand their network.
Students become conveyors of emotions and ideas. Their work with children illustrates how art can transform perspectives for a lasting impact.
Photography workshops to raise children's awareness of living things
A comprehensive educational process supervised by experts
Jean-Louis Tornato (artist and professor of photographic creativity) and Solange Reboul (co-director and cultural mediation specialist at the Gwinzegal Art Center) guide students through a training program that combines artistic methodology and environmental awareness.
The students' projects are submitted to a mixed jury, comprising teachers and experts from WWF France. Originality, feasibility, and ecological relevance dictate the choices. This process guarantees captivating and eco-responsible workshops.<
An art project that changes perceptions
Photography workshops transform children's perspective on living things. They discover local ecosystems, develop their creativity, and become aware of climate issues through the lens of a camera.Throughout the workshops, children develop a curious, creative, and conscious view of the world around them:
- Exploring local biodiversity: discovering fauna and flora, understanding ecosystems.
- Fun photography techniques: introduction to the basics of photography.
- Artistic creation: carrying out projects based on their photos, linking art and the environment.
- Raising awareness of environmental issues: pollution, waste, climate change.
The partnership between Atelier de Sèvres and WWF France is yielding concrete results: committed after-school centers, raised awareness in local communities, and artistic projects rooted in ecological transition.
