Schools, children, and youth groups

Photoforum Pasquart’s Art Mediation Service offers a variety of workshops and exhibition tours for classes of all levels. We’re also happy to help you plan day trips, theme weeks, or longer-term school projects in the field of photography, image, and media skills.

Interactive tour

This interactive tour allows us to explore the exhibition playfully. We get closer to the works by asking questions and looking for our own approaches to the images and their claim to truth. The students themselves become mediators and learn from each other. (from 12 years old, 60 min)

Picture stories

In the workshop “Stories in pictures” we have a closer look at what is in a photograph. What does the picture show us, what does it hide? What story does the photograph tell us? We explore the content of different photographs and series of images, and the emotions they evoke, and then learn about body language and facial expressions of emotions. In small groups, we imagine our own stories and discover how we can tell them with a series of photographs. (Suitable for children and primary school, 90 min)

Blue light and white shadow

The workshop provides an understanding of how images are captured and how they end up on paper or screen. The participants are then invited to experience the cyanotype, an ancient photographic process. (suitable for children and primary school, 90 min)

Price

130 CHF / 90 min, short guided tour and workshop with a mediator. 90 CHF / 45-60 min, guided tour with a mediator

Support for cultural activities in the schools of Biel/Bienne, support by the Canton of Berne

All our workshops are supported by the City of Biel. School classes from kindergarten to 11 years of age can take advantage of this offer and book these activities free of charge. As the number of classes that can benefit from this offer is limited, we recommend booking the activity as soon as possible. The Canton of Berne offers school classes cultural vouchers for the cost of transport to a cultural venue.  The Canton of Bern also supports cultural projects in schools.
