Content
In June 2022, a group of 50 Italian teachers lived a unique artistic and pedagogical experience.  For two weeks, in the heart of the Italian Friuli mountains, they participate in a series of workshops and conferences led by Hervé Tullet and the pedagogue Alessandra Falconi aiming to question and transform their school practices via an immersion in the artist's creative universe.

The masterclass documents this original pedagogical experience. From the workshops and moments of life lived at the "École Nuages", Hervé and Alessandra extracted 10 concepts summarized in 10 words. 10 words that give the viewer the keys to imagine a new school, to rethink their daily work, to gain confidence in the creative process, to have new "anchor points" and to free their creativity to relearn how to design with children.
