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 />
