In the first round of our interactive workshop "Narration Floraison," 22 children have benefited from this enriching experience. This round featured three groups, each participating in five sessions.
The first group’s workshop took place from January 22 to 26, 2024, at Foyer Croix Rouge, involving six children.
The second group's workshop ran from February 12 to March 4, 2024, at École Préscolaire Remich, with ten children participating.
The third group's workshop also occurred from February 12 to March 4, 2024, at École Préscolaire Remich, with six children involved.
Throughout the workshops, children enjoyed a safe environment where they were guided to create their own stories, share them with the group, and narrate them theatrically using marionettes. Additionally, they learned the art of storyboarding, honing crucial skills such as communication and self-expression.
These workshops were led by the experienced artist Walid El-Masri, with Yusra Amounh coordinating the program, in association with both Douri and Fondation Sommer.
The final project will compile all the children's stories into a single book.
