Halloween approaching, what would you say to knowing a little more about the place of the dead in History?
From America to Asia, from Europe to Africa, we invite children over 7 years old to explore the funeral traditions of each continent through many creative activities.
On the program: realization of paper flower offerings for the Thai festival of Loy Krathong, creation of lanterns in turnips to celebrate the Irish festival of Samhain and representation of a sacred cow on a fabric evoking the Nepalese festival of Gaï Jatra. And also: creation of African clay death masks and pre-Columbian plaster statuettes, and creation of a temporary rangoli in chalk paint to evoke the Indian festival of Divali.
The last afternoon will be devoted to Mexico: the children will make clay calavera, metal ex-votos, and make and taste the "death’s bread", a brioche powdered with sugar and scented with orange blossom that is exclusively prepared on the Day of the Dead.
Upon registration at 03 20 47 21 99.
