Solution
A complementary player to the medical and educational teams at child psychiatric hospitals, L'enfant@l'hôpital fights against isolation and learning difficulties among young patients. Every week, throughout the year, it takes children on a travel workshop to discover the adventures of travelers in the four corners of the world. Week after week, bonds are forged.
With great talent and benevolence, our young animators draw on the travelers' tales to help children experience their joys, trials and tribulations, encounters and discoveries. Natural wonders, traditions and cultures of the world, little-known fruits or spices...: our workshops take hospitalized children to the opposite extreme of withdrawal. They are punctuated by a wide variety of creative activities, specially designed to stimulate the senses and expand knowledge. A thousand different ways to learn!

Focus on the 6 new workshops in Rennes
Welcome and thank you to the new Captains of L'enfant@l'hôpital!"
Every Thursday and Friday, Isabel and Lucie, our young entertainers, travel to Brittany, to run workshops with children and teenagers on the day hospitalization units at the Guillaume Régnier hospital in Rennes (35).
These young patients, often suffering from new pathologies, considered to be psychic or mental handicaps of varying severity (precocity, school phobias, hyperactivity, eating or behavioral disorders, depression, addictions, suicidal crises,...) are all in great suffering.
Our workshops, tailored to their specific difficulties and needs, are an opportunity for them to:
- open up to the riches of the world and to others,
- come out of isolation, weariness and fatigue.
During these sessions, young beneficiaries discover the world through the adventures of the "Crabe-Total, le retour" expedition: Laetitia, Benjamin, Oren and Liah, a family set off on a round-the-world trip in October 2023.
This is also an opportunity for the children to carry out manual and artistic activities linked to the travelers' discoveries!
See how they made the paper lanterns, inspired by those of the Loy Krathong festival in Thailand.
PS/ Our CAPTAIN CAUSE project aims to continue our workshops throughout the school year in all the regions and cities where we intervene in hospital psychiatric units: thank you to all our Captains who support us!
The money will be used for
- Designing a customized travel workshop based on each child's difficulties
- Each week, leading the travel workshop and creating sensory activities
- Purchasing supplies for the activities carried out during the travel workshops
- Coordinating the partnership with child psychiatric hospitals
- Recruiting and training travel workshop leaders and solidarity travelers

Our children are in a bad way. The society we offer them makes them anxious. Let's offer them a way out of their painful past and rediscover the desire to open up to the world and to others.
