l’Outil en main<br />

„L’Union des associations l’Outil en main“<br />

is a French organisation which is based in<br />

Troyes and was fo<strong>und</strong>ed in 1987. 62 organisations<br />

throughout France are built on<br />

the concept of L’Outil en main. In schools<br />

and workshops, courses are given for children<br />

between the ages of 9 and 14. Old craft<br />

skills are passed on to the younger generation<br />

by real craftsmen (who have retired) in<br />

authentic workshops using real tools. The<br />

children develop manual skills and selfconfidence<br />

and become sensitised to cultural<br />

assets. At the end of the school year,<br />

the children receive a certificate entitled<br />

„d’initiation aux métiérs du patrimoine“ (<br />

initiation in craftsmanship patrimony).<br />
