Develop children's enjoyment of learning and self-confidence

After weeks of summer workshops rich in learning and discovery, children, teachers and animators will be heading back to school! 🎒 

 

That's why the Amasco association aims to promote values of inclusion, solidarity, cooperation and commitment through its educational workshops, particularly during the school vacations. This is a key period for children's development and for reducing inequalities. Our aim is to offer all children equal access to quality education and enriching cultural activities. This will help stimulate their motivation to learn, an important factor in academic success. 

 

In addition, Amasco is dedicated to training teachers and animators in active pedagogies. Present in Île-de-France, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, and Centre-Val de Loire, the association welcomes nearly 2,000 children each year, reinforcing its educational and social impact. 

 

The whole Amasco team wishes children, teachers, animators and partners✨

Friday August 23 marked the end of our four weeks of summer workshops across three regions. With over 900 participants, these workshops were a great success with the children!" 

 

The last week, the theme "Water/Ocean: Blue Gold or Big Blue", was a particular hit with the kids. Zoom in on our Orleans La Source site, where the Pop-Up workshop was one of the flagship activities. 

 

The children explored the theme of oceans by creating pop-up cards, developing essential skills: creativity, fine motor skills, problem-solving, and social and emotional skills. 

 

The workshop began with an interactive discussion, where the children shared their knowledge of oceans, marine animals, and personal experiences. This stimulated their curiosity and prepared them for the creative activity. 

 

They then chose a marine element to highlight, such as fish, turtles or coral, which they drew on colored paper. Using the templates provided, they created a pop-up mechanism to bring their drawings to life in 3D. The whole was completed by a marine décor for total immersion. 

 

Each child then presented their pop-up card, explaining their choice. This moment of sharing highlighted their creativity and commitment, and everyone was warmly congratulated on their work. 

 

We loved organizing and working on these Summer 2024 workshops. It was a great way for families to discover or re-discover our missions and values.
