Little Artists put on a Big Display
It has become a regular appointment for CERN people: the exhibition of naive and beautiful works made by young artists from the CERN nursery school.Physicists? Pianists? Teachers? They still don't know what they will be... some of them can hardly speak. But one thing's for sure CERN gives them the chance to discover and express their artistic aptitudes. And once a year they can proudly show their works to all CERN people. We are talking about children from le nursery school run by the CERN Staff Association, who are the creators of amazing works currently on display in the Main Building. To prepare for this very important appointment each class of young artists from 2 to 6 years old, have been hard at work for several months.

Working together to express themselves in creative activities, such as drawing, pottery, music, musical movement, games, arts, and craftwork, children from all over the world have the wonderful opportunity to be in touch with different cultures right from the start. It also gives them the chance, whatever their mother tongue, to learn French quickly, without difficulty, and while having fun. Not surprisingly for CERN, there's also a good chance that one of the teachers will speak their language so they don't feel lost while their French is getting up to speed.
The nursery school and the Garderie are now open for enrolments for the next year.
