Mediation
A contemporary art center is like a laboratory for art and humanities. This is why the Kunsthalle Friart offers different formats of visits to allow everyone to immerse themselves in the world of contemporary art. A cultural mediation is proposed especially for students. It allows a participative immersion in the current exhibitions and develops critical thinking.
A mediation program is available for classes in post-compulsory education and for Cycle 3 classes in the canton of Fribourg.
The people in charge of the mediation love challenges and are happy to adapt to your needs and particular requests according to your school and the training you are taking. Just ask us!
