Working with the public

Céline excels in the art of co-creation thanks to fun and educational tools that she designs to measure, such as the Sens-vegetable program. She uses icebreakers and games to help participants overcome their blocks or fears when it comes to creativity. These methods involve active and extensive participation, making each project accessible to all.

During her workshops, she creates a safe space where each participant can express themselves freely. She combats the "blank page syndrome" by providing a range of tools, supports and inspirations:

• Selection of plants adapted to the tastes and desires of the participants.
• Practical activities such as sowing or collective planting, accompanied by personalized advice.
• Sharing of knowledge on the maintenance of plants and their benefits.

These workshops allow a reconnection with the living and stimulate the creativity of the participants, as evidenced by their feedback:

• Participant:“I like it because it makes me think… » (feedback from a patient with cognitive difficulties).
• Supervisor:« The Sensi-vegetal workshops allowed patients to put the person at the center and take them out of their position as a patient. The methodology, which is aligned with a participatory, non-competitive and free approach, encouraged the creativity of the participants. »
