Developing a trust-based relationship
For enjoyment to be at the heart of the learning process, trust and kindness are essential.
Each Young Apprentice is supported individually by their teachers and the team at the Académie. The latter work hand in hand with the Young Apprentices’ families, who are highly involved in the project. Therefore, the child is taken into account in a holistic way and with kindness. As a result, he or she is enabled to blossom and to feel secure, especially when they face issues elsewhere (at school, at home…).
Likewise, the pedagogical team provides the Young Talents with steady training, through a series of masterclass sessions and they are accompanied by the staff every step of the way, in a spirit of understanding and non-competition.
The one-to-one mentorship between Young Talents and Young Apprentices also enhances mutual assistance between generations and develops a sense of belonging to their common project. On one hand, it allows children to identify themselves with another role model. On the other hand, it enables young artists to realise that the transmission of knowledge matters, thereby building up skills that will prove to be essential in their career.
