Bonjour,
en tant qu’éducatrice de l’enfance et art-thérapeute, et travaillant avec le formidable outil qu’est la marionnette, je souhaite partager mon travail de mémoire que j’ai rédigé dans le cadre de ma formation d’éducatrice de l’enfant. Ce travail regroupe de la théorie, de la pratique contenant quelques illustrations ainsi qu’une enquête auprès de divers professionnels côtoyant la marionnette.
Seriez vous d’accord que je puisse partager mon ouvrage ?
Bien à vous.
