Our projects

La Fondation Donnadieu, under the aegis of the Fondation pour l'Enfance, a non-profit organization, uses culture to help young people, particularly those facing mental and/or physical isolation. It aims to develop young people's thinking andopen-mindedness by spreading the values of cultural diversity,otherness and respect.

Association Noc - Nous On Crée

The project.

Fondation Donnadieu joins the association's workshops NOC - Nous On Créein the heart of the hospital, to offer children a unique cultural journey.

In the NOC workshops, art teachers introduce hospitalized children to the Fondation Donnadieu's Culture(s) collection, ancient masterpieces of the living world in miniature, retracing almost 10,000 years of human history.

This new project awakens children's curiosity and feeds their imaginations, inspiring future original creations. These workshops become privileged moments when each pupil explores, expresses and escapes through art.

Together, we believe that culture is a formidable vector of resilience and well-being, even in the most challenging contexts.
