“Crossing the threshold, giving and receiving”
Experience Sharing Tea, an artistic, aesthetic and cultural project centered on the theme of hospitality in Japan.
Project supported by the Fondation Foujita and the musée Guimet.
Thanks to a long-standing partnership between the Musée National des Arts Asiatiques – Guimet and the Fondation Foujita, 6 artists met up with pupils from the Saint-Étienne school in Saint-Estèphe in the Médoc, the Vitagliano secondary school in Marseille and families from the Families home in Bordeaux and the Halte des Parents in Marseille, to enable them to share aesthetic, artistic and cultural experiences and reveal their sensitivity and creativity. Each encounter refers to the sharing of tea in Japan, also known as “The Way of Tea”, and its four great values – WA KEI SEI JAKU :
Over the course of 4 full weeks, spread out between December 2023 and May 2024, 67 young people and parents embarked on a journey made up of various immersive and participative workshops, some of which took place in the Clairière des Poètes, a scenic space specially designed for this project.
Some participants continued the tour by coming to Paris for a visit to the Musée national des arts asiatiques – Guimet.

- Not forgetting the students and their families, parents and children,
for their trust, hospitality and talent!
Apprentis d’Auteuil is convinced that parents who are solid in their role as educators help their children to blossom, and intervenes via the Families home to support parents who are weakened in their role, defuse educational difficulties and strengthen the parent-child bond.
A place for families, professionals and volunteers to share ideas, the Families home help parents regain confidence in their educational abilities. Through exchange and mutual support, and with the benevolent presence of a permanent team, they share their experiences, questions and difficulties without fear of being judged, and strengthen their skills.
