Three guided thematic visits are proposed. Accompanied by a mediator, each visit starts with a presentation of the Biennial and the theme of Empathy. It continues with the discovery of two exhibitions with the presentation of selected objects. The guide adapts to the level of the classes.

Unaccompanied visits are also available

(primary school and pre-school classes for 6 to 12 years).

The Cité du design proposed to matali crasset to imagine a workshop for children from 6 to 12 years, on the theme of empathy, or experiencing the other. The Nanocity project invites children to design a city together. Installed in tiers surrounded by panels, they discuss what is necessary to develop a Nanocity. They define the different components of the urban environment: the inhabitants (the nanopeople), the habitat (the nanocasas), the vegetal content (the nanoplants), and the animals (the nanomals). Then they are invited to give graphic shapes to these elements. Finally the city is built by joining together their different drawings.
