First steps (aged 6 months to 3 years)
A project aimed at familiarising newborns with the world of books starting from the first year of life. It is carried out through various highly sensory activities inviting participants to look, touch and listen: visual shows, music concerts and workshop stories.
Sac de rondalles (aged 4 years and over) Storytelling, where the spoken word plays a central role, free of any stage props.
Books on stage (aged 4 years and over) Small-format, short-duration stage activities that combine narrations with dramatisations and support from objects, puppets and music.
Musical appetisers (aged 4 years and over) Educational concerts for introducing music to children and helping them to develop their sensitivity and creativity. Listening, singing, playing and learning are the cornerstones of these concerts where children, along with those accompanying them, and the musicians, are the key players.
Discovery workshops (aged 8 years and over) Workshops using books to disseminate various areas of knowledge (environment, art, other cultures, etc.) in a leisurely and participatory way.
Book clubs for children and young people. A space for sharing the magic of reading, in a participatory way. Aimed at initiating and stimulating a taste for reading, book clubs offer a variety of different formats adapted to the various ages.
