Forget the standard cardboard calendars and level up your crafting skills by designing a sustainable version from scratch. This workshop blends sewing with a bit of digital creativity, making it the perfect creative project for anyone wanting to mix eco-conscious vibes with hands-on technical skills.

The Académie du climat hosts a series of creative workshops focused on crafting an eco-friendly advent calendar, specifically designed for teenagers aged 12 to 18. Over five consecutive Saturdays, from November 14 to December 12, 2026, attendees will explore sustainable alternatives to consumerism by creating their own items from scratch. The curriculum includes hands-on sewing machine training as well as introductions to professional Illustrator software and 3D design. Located in the 4th arrondissement, this event is completely free of charge. The venue is fully wheelchair accessible, ensuring that all participants can enjoy the experience in an inclusive environment.

From November 14 to December 12, 2026, the Académie du climat invites youths aged 12 to 18 to explore sustainable practices through the assembly of their own advent calendars. Sessions are held every Saturday in two time slots: from 10:00 to 13:30 and from 15:00 to 18:00.

Participants gain a blend of traditional and digital skills throughout the five-week program. The curriculum covers sewing machine operation for structural assembly, alongside an introduction to professional-grade Illustrator software and 3D modeling techniques. These sessions are also designed to foster a deeper understanding of the climate impacts associated with mass consumption.

The event takes place at 2 place Baudoyer in the 4th arrondissement. Participation is entirely free. The site is wheelchair accessible, providing an open and welcoming space for all young attendees.
