EVENTO made-to-measure

For my family  

  • Workshops

    The Shared City – Grand Parc district and riverbanks
    The Department of Education of the Castello di Rivoli welcomes you every day with no booking needed, to one of the 10 workshops for the creation of a collective monumental work. These participatory artistic installations will enable you to familiarize yourself with the practices of contemporary art, while decorating symbolic parts of the city.

    Evolving Theatre – Place André Meunier
    The Evolving Theatre wishes to transform the Place André Meunier into an ecological public space based on civic cooperation. Evolving Theatre designates a living approach of theatre, revealing the twists and turns of social cohabitation, not only between residents, but also with nature and animals… Evolving Theatre invites families to take part in this cohabitation, through an architectural, social, and agro-cultural set-up. These workshops take on a wide range of forms: cooking, breeding, gardening… Please feel free to ask the mediators if you have any enquiry.

    From home

    Every day at any time, you can log onto the Mobile City game, create an account, and fulfil one or more missions with your family. These easy, fun and often eco-civic missions are a good way of acquiring deeper knowledge of the city.

    Visits and custom tours

    Please contact the Mediation Office (05 56 44 76 38) if you wish to book a guided tour adapted to your family. Whether for a simple guided tour of one of the “Roots” exhibitions or a full tour of EVENTO, we can design and offer you an adapted programme, taking account of your children’s ages, your schedule, and the projects you wish to discover.
