Special parent-child olfactory awakening workshop: «The Shared Nose»
«Le Nez en partage» offers a family audience to rediscover our olfactory sensibility so that they can later have fun sharing and exchanging their smells experiences with their families.
Among the five senses, the olfaction remains very particular, powerful and immersive but also mysterious and unknown. It is the key to our emotional memories perhaps much more than the other four senses. Whether consciously or not, our nose smells constantly. It analyzes them and implicitly modifies our behavior according to them.
We can thus be attracted or repelled, intrigued or indifferent, excited, sometimes assaulted or alerted but also soothed and reassured. Smells accompany us in our daily life since our birth and throughout our life and their interpretation becomes autobiographical: they speak about us, our life, our experiences.
By paying attention to it, we find that smell is a very intimate, personal sense, very linked to our memory and memories. Feeling to locate, interact, remember, but do we all feel the same way?
It is in five stages that the workshop «Le Nez en partage» proposes to a family audience to rediscover, in a first step, its olfactory sensitivity in order to be able to later, have fun to share and exchange in family its experiences of smells.
