We, åbäke and I, just released our last collaboration, with the Serpentine Gallery:
The website is projected in classrooms where workshops are being held. It gives the teachers a sort of toolbox for activities around dyslexia as a way of empowering creativity. It delivers pdf documents to print, explaining activities and how to design your own based on a few examples. Each of these examples is «illustrated» by sections of the website which are an introduction for children in the classroom, a visual stimulation.
Workshop projects have been initially developed by artist Michaela Ross – and the initially established processes are now supported by this new tool and the friendly help of designers åbäke. First common workshop was held on last friday, after the launch on wednesday the 28th of March at the Serpentine Gallery. It received good feedbacks and we are definitely looking forward for more experiments of this kind to be co-designed.

Comments (2) - what do you think of this?
Some pictures of the books which were produced in 4 days (tuesday to friday early afternoon), from early sketches to production of limited edition of each student’s book – this represents a really hard work and great involvement from the 11 last year student who i would like to thanks not only for their hard work but also for their engagement and positiveness.
Most of the La Cambre students during the week workshop were from the Typography department, but not only: some of them were coming from other departments Painting, Sculpture, Book Binding, etc. – and this is precisely what, in my opinion, brought such various approaches, seeing the students not going straight to the computer to experiment with their ideas was one of the nicest surprise of this workshop.
