Animatou is the leading animation film festival in French-speaking Switzerland, dedicated to showcasing the best of contemporary animated cinema and championing bold, author-driven works that rarely find space in traditional theatres. Both locally rooted and internationally recognised, the festival brings together generations, cultures and sensibilities through a rich programme of competitive short films, special screenings, feature films, retrospectives, workshops and masterclasses. With a strong commitment to education and year-round activities for schools and the wider public, Animatou has become a key platform for animation in Geneva and beyond.

Build, program, and invent in hands-on workshops designed for curious kids. Work in teams to explore mechanics behind cable systems, then switch to coding with LEGO SPIKE Prime, designing simple video games in Scratch, and shaping worlds in Minecraft. You’ll prototype, test, and see ideas come alive through movement, color, and sound. Short challenges spark logic, creativity, and teamwork while playful tasks make learning about machines and code feel like an adventure.
Kids ages 8–12.
Explore museum collections and discover how artists bring plants and flowers to life. Choose from leaves and other natural materials to press into soft clay and make your own prints. Feel textures, see bright shapes, and hear the gentle crunch of dried leaves. Shape your pieces, add colors, and watch simple marks become small stories. This creative workshop helps you notice nature’s details and use them to tell your own plant tales.
Kids ages 5–8.
Create playful word-blends with your child in a gentle workshop about caring. Use your voice, touch, and imagination to mix sounds and meanings into new words that talk about kindness and support.

Step into Euphonia, an interactive sound installation inspired by Hector Berlioz’s tale Euphonia ou La Ville musicale. Here you don’t just listen: you blow, build, play, probe and invent together. Along the route you create your own instrument before exploring a vast participatory organ. Sounds circulate, answer each other and meet to form a collective composition. No musical training is required — a playful sonic adventure to share with family.
In French. Kids ages 4 and up.
