Solution
A complementary player to the medical and educational teams at child psychiatric hospitals, L'enfant@l'hôpital fights against isolation and learning difficulties among young patients. Every week, throughout the year, it takes children on a travel workshop to discover the adventures of travelers in the four corners of the world. Week after week, bonds are forged.
With great talent and kindness, our young animators draw on the travelers' stories to help the children experience their joys, their trials and tribulations, their encounters and their discoveries. Natural wonders, traditions and cultures of the world, little-known fruits or spices...: our workshops take hospitalized children to the opposite extreme of withdrawal. They are punctuated by a wide variety of creative activities, specially designed to stimulate the senses and expand knowledge. A thousand different ways to learn!

Our children are in a bad way. The society we offer them makes them anxious. Let's offer them a way out of their painful past and rediscover the desire to open up to the world and to others.
