250 professions to discover
Craft is more than 250 professions to discover. Over 60 videos allow students to discover all aspects of these crafts thanks to artisan testimonials in areas such as mechanics, transportation, nature, fashion, beauty, delicacies, cutlery, art and heritage or home and decor. Middle school students discover careers interactively, through videos, worksheets, and tests. In addition, VR headsets allow for a complete immersion experience. Besides using these digital tools, students benefit from encounters with local artisans. Thus, at the Collège Charles-de-Foucauld, Philippe Pollard, the iron and steel worker of Lamastrois art who took part in the World Exhibition in Dubai, came to present his activity to particularly attentive university students.
