Freinet Techniques

‘Freinet Techniques’ is a project by graphic designer Paul Gangloff. It aims to publish a selection of texts written, typeset and printed by children on the presses of the Freinet schools between the 1920’s and 1980’s. Reproduced from the archives of the association les Amis de Freinet, the children’s texts are accompanied by three essays by graphic designer César Rogers, artist and researcher Marie Preston and Gangloff. The essays make a link between the ideological framework of the Freinet techniques and contemporary practices of graphic design, literacy and co-creation.
