Onisep has just made available to all teachers a remarkable pedagogical kit to raise awareness among middle and high school students of the diversity of professions at work in a museum.
The kit produced in partnership with the Centre Pompidou in Paris focuses on ten portraits of ten professionals from the Centre National d’Art Contemporain staged by the filmWork! Ten jobs at the Centre Pompidou » directed in 2014 by director-choreographer Philippe Jamet. Ten employees of the museum testify to their profession, while mimicking and choreographing it.
"Discover 10 jobs at the Centre Pompidou" includes resources and pedagogical activities that can be mobilised as part of educational pathways : the Avenir course (discovery of the economic and professional world) and the artistic and cultural education course (PEAC). Useful and practical.
The kit offers resources and educational activities available in sequences.
First of all, the film ‘Work!’ : It can be consulted in full, or in sequenced form, for direct access to each of the ten portraits.
Three quizzes (‘Behind the scenes of the Centre Pompidou’, ‘Exploring the trades of a museum’, ‘Associating the image with the right trade’) offer a first simple form of awareness of the themes presented.
The sequences intended for middle school students propose to enter the subject from three activities: ‘Mimicking a profession’, ‘Filming a professional’, and ‘Meeting the professionals of a museum’. These activities allow students to discover and apprehend the trades in a fun way.
Three sequences are aimed at high school students: ‘Between dream and reality’ commits to exploring the relationship between the dreamed profession and that exercised, ‘One profession, several career paths’ makes it possible to discover the training paths of professionals and, finally, ‘In the shoes of a director’ asks for the principles of creating a cinematographic work.
Proposals for extensions will allow you to complement each of these activities or enrich their content.
An excellent tool of ONISEP which had the good idea, thanks to Jamet’s film, to propose an original and creative approach to the representation of professions that changes us from the traditional testimonies of professionals. For example, I love the idea of having students film a job or mimic it.
The kit "Work, 10 trades of the Centre Pompidou" is open access. However, in order to access all the resources in the teaching kit, you will first need to log in with an ID from the teaching area.
