Ever since it was founded in 1991, the Centre international d’art et du paysage of Vassivière Island has chosen to develop an educational sector dedicated to the public, in particular the young public, as a demonstration of its desire to foster since an early age familiarity with contemporary art and the notion of creation.

Throughout the whole year, the educational service proposes various pedagogic activities adapted to the demands of partners in national education and associations. Actions are implemented in accordance with the target public, following an active exchange procedure rather than a passive waiting process. It is specifically addressed to the young people of the region and outside the region with workshops during their school schedule, to teachers within the framework of their training, to art and architecture students with traineeships, and to professional architects and landscape artists in search of enriching their experience through contact with artists.
