As part of the Artistic and Cultural Education Experiences (Parcours d’éducation artistique et culturelle, PEAC) organised by GrandAngoulême, Cnam-Enjmin is organising 4 workshops as part of the pedagological residency "Video Game Tester: My Profession" (« Testeur de jeu vidéo : mon métier »).

Several student projects from the Master's degree in Audiovisual, Digital Interactive Media and Video Games will be taking part in this initiative. Each student from the Oisellerie agricultural high school will be assigned to one of these projects.
