Holidays where children learn while having fun

It's already been three weeks since the start of the summer workshops! 

 

In the first week, under the theme "Olympics/Sport: All Champions", one of the flagship activities was "morpion relay". At Amasco Workshops, we encourage the development of team spirit and the expression of emotions through physical activities. 

 

This activity involved being the first of two teams to line up 3 scarves of the same color horizontally, vertically or diagonally. 

 

To begin, the two teams stand in single file. In turn, each child places his or her colored scarf in a square. On their way back, they clap their teammate's hand so that he or she can leave to drop off their scarf in turn. Children can choose to build a line or block their opponents'. Facilitators can advise them on their strategies, helping them understand how to win or prevent their opponents from succeeding. 

 

At the end of the exercise, children will have been physically active, improved their motor skills and developed strategies as a team - a complete activity!

 

See you soon for the continuation of the Amasco adventures!

After weeks of work, preparation and organization, we're delighted to announce the launch of our summer workshops!" 

The workshops will run from July 8 to August 23. For four weeks, children will be able to develop and learn around four exciting themes: 

 

🏅 JO/Sport - Tous champions : Discover sportsmanship and the importance of physical activity. 

 

🎲 Game creation - Game heroes: Children will dive into the world of games by becoming creators. 

 

🍏 Healthy eating - From Fork to Fork: Learning the basics of a balanced diet while having fun!" 

 

🌊 Water/ocean - Big blue or blue gold? : Conquering the wonders and challenges of water and the oceans. 

 

Around 1,000 children are expected to attend over 50 weeks of workshops. They will take place at over 40 sites in Ile-de-France, Centre Val de Loire and Auvergne Rhône-Alpes. It's a unique opportunity for children to develop the 3 key skills we're looking for: a desire to learn, self-confidence and a spirit of cooperation. 
A huge thank you to all our partners for standing by us in this great adventure! There are still slots available to come and visit our workshops, so don't hesitate to contact us if you're interested!

Before the workshops, our offices are a buzzing beehive. 
The better the workshops are prepared, the better they'll run! In concrete terms, there's no respite, no boredom, every day a new challenge!
It's no later than one month before the start of the workshops that the main ingredients must be in place: an optimal venue, a recruited and trained supervisory team, and loyal local partners! 
To this end, before each workshop period, we contact all our host partners. We validate with them our dates of intervention and the conditions of reception. We work with them to refine our communication and registration strategy. We then hold enrolment sessions to publicize the workshops, and contact our local partners (social centers, schools, Programme de Réussite Educative, Entraide Scolaire Amicale, Samu Social de Paris, etc.) who support the children on a daily basis. Word-of-mouth is always a great communication tool! 
Finally, we prepare all the teaching materials needed for the activities. Collecting materials, ordering and purchasing, the treasure hunt is on to put together our precious trunks and deliver them to all sites on time. 
Monday morning... the long-awaited moment, the supervisory team gets together ahead of the opening, prepares the room and welcomes the children. The week can begin! 
The in-house team stays in touch and supports the teams throughout the week, and travels to the sites for visits with our various partners. 

Dear Captains, 
It's time to take stock of our Spring 2024 workshops. 

 

From April 8 to May 3, our spring workshops took place in 24 towns across our 3 regions. Over 660 children took part, having fun around two common themes: "Tous en forme" and "Rêvons demain". These themes were an opportunity to offer games, stimulating learning and enriching encounters marked by sharing, listening and joy. 

 

During these workshops, we had the honor of welcoming, for a day, the head of the education network of Vers le Haut, France's leading think tank dedicated to education. She was able to discover our workshops, our pedagogy and then wrote a fascinating article about her experience! 

 

The whole team is already gearing up for our Summer 2024 workshops, which are coming very soon!

Finally, this great success is dedicated to our children, who inspire us and fill us with happiness! 

At the heart of this winter, our workshops resounded with laughter and discovery, brightening the days of nearly 700 children across France. 

With passion and commitment, our teaching teams sought to discover talents and awaken desires in all these children. 

 

Our themes, "Journey around the world" and "Pitch solidaire", were the canvases on which unforgettable moments were woven. From the Ile-de-France region, through the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and on to Centre-Val de Loire, each workshop was a stage in the development of savoir-être and savoir-apprendre, as a collective. 

This winter will remain engraved in our memories as a season of sharing, discovery and inspiration. 

 

We would like to express our thanks to Captain Cause, CJM Conseil and Nouus for their invaluable support in bringing these winter workshops to life. 

The Autumn 2023 workshops were an enriching and collaborative experience, bringing together passionate and creative children. During these 15 days of workshops, the children were able to acquire new skills, share their knowledge and forge links with each other. 

The themes "In action for the planet" and "We're leading the investigation" added a special dimension to these workshops, encouraging the children to explore innovative solutions for the planet and their artistic creativity. The positive feedback highlights the effectiveness of the facilitators in developing the children's skills and personal growth. 

We would like to express our gratitude to all those who contributed to the success of these workshops.  

We're extremely proud to announce that the 2023 Summer Workshops were a real success!
