Invent a story title from three random words and bring it to life on the page. Children draw one or more characters for their cover using a stencil element, exploring character design, costume, posture and visual storytelling. The workshop encourages imagination, playful experimentation with colour and line, and hands-on narrative creation.
It ends with a snack and a signing session with Xavière Devos.

Follow Komaneko, a curious little cat, as she makes her own films in four tender, playful shorts. Each story sparks imagination, invites collaborative creativity and gently reveals how making images is a craft and a joyful game. Live musicians bring the world to life with percussion, guitars, keys, voices and found objects, blending electronica, jazz and indie-pop into bright, rhythmic soundscapes that delight young ears and bodies.
In French. Kids ages 3 and up.
Climb, play and explore themed games that introduce kids to basic bouldering. Children move across colorful routes, feel the rough holds, and practice balance, jumps and gentle problem-solving through playful challenges.

Sessions mix movement, imagination and sensory play so kids discover strength, confidence and teamwork in a safe, playful setting.
Kids ages 5–10.
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.

Follow themed investigations and sensory games that turn botanical exploration into a playful adventure. Use sight, touch and scent to compare shapes, colours and textures while learning simple identification tips from guides and volunteers.
Kids ages 6–13.
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.

In French. Kids ages 6 and up.
