Education and workshops — Fondation MRO

Image education for young audiences provides a fun way to approach photography and encourage reflection on images and how they are produced. It all begins with a guided tour of the current exhibition, where discussion is central to this moment of discovery, followed by educational workshops where participants are encouraged to awaken their imagination, creativity and critical thinking in relation to the themes of the exhibition programmes.

The MRO Foundation contributed to Rentrée en Images in partnership with the Rencontres d'Arles. The Foundation's team welcomed around 100 pupils a day, ranging from primary school children to secondary school pupils from the region.

Mediated tours

The Foundation offers guided tours of the exhibitions in the programme. Each tour focuses on a selection of three to five exhibitions, allowing visitors to explore the works in a gradual and contextualised manner, promoting discussion and understanding of artistic approaches.

Educational workshops

In conjunction with its exhibitions, the Foundation offers educational workshops combining visits, practical activities and experimentation.

For the exhibition L’Engagement, a guided tour with Polaroid cameras invites students, divided into groups, to explore the exhibitions and take a photograph based on a given theme.

The Grow Up workshop takes the form of a game-based tour: using cards, participants conduct a search to find a plant and the associated artist in the various exhibitions.

As part of the Dress Code programme, an introductory workshop on studio photography allows participants to discover framing, lighting, model direction and the creation of visual worlds around textiles.
