Journalist for a day workshop

16th to 26th july 2007

This workshop aims to stimulate interest in current affairs, collaborative work, the child’s critical perception and skills of observation, reflection and deduction, through a series of days shared with no more than twenty participants.

On the last day, a newspaper will be printed and distributed through the tourist offices and kiosks that voluntarily join the programme. Morning visits will be combined with afternoons dedicated to writing and design. In all cases, the children will be accompanied by three monitors and the workshop coordinator.
