TY - Type of reference TI - “Cellular heroes": arts, histology and pedagogy AU - Jean-François Bodart AU - Adèle Tilouine AU - Camille Vandromme AU - Christine Vandromme AU - Corentin Spriet AB - « Cellular Heroes » is an interdisciplinary project that involved 240 schoolchildren as well as teachers from the Grand Lycée Franco-Libanais of Beyrouth, and four external experts, scientists and / or artists from the University of Lille and the CNRS. Using information from researchers and teachers, schoolchildren discovered that cells organize themselves into tissues to perform functions. Based on their observations and the photographs of animal tissue sections, they were called to describe imaginary characters. The technical analysis of the materials enabled them to imagine characters with mythological dimensions, based on the knowledge that the schoolchildren had acquired about the cells observed. Each of these heroes was the subject of a multilingual description (French, Arabic, English), based on the characteristics specific to the selected microscopic elements. « Cellular Heroes » engaged schoolchildren to become aware of the importance of the recognition of scientific methods, artistic and creativity approaches which are to be placed among the fundamental skills to be acquired during their individual career. Here are Contextual elements presented and discussed main elements regarding artistic and pedagogical approaches employed in relation to histology, as well as the methodology used during this project. The "cellular heroes" were promoted by an exhibition, the creation of a virtual gallery, and benefited from strong institutional support from the “mission laïque française” and the Middle East ” Agence pour l’enseignement français à l’étranger”.
