On the way to the WorldSkills Competition!

At the initiative of a working group of passionate professionals, this area aims to demonstrate the skills of the stone and landscape trades transmitted to young people in training.

The WorldSkills Competition, the biggest international vocational education and skills excellence event in the world, is taking place for its 2024 final in Lyon.
Lyon already welcomed the first phase of the WorldSkills France national finals and will again welcome the competitors for the second phases of the national finals.

As these events approach, the professionals of the "On the way to WorldSkills Competition !" working group, involved in the WorldSkills competition (WorldSkills France experts, workshop leaders, partners, training centers), took the opportunity to promote their know-hows and their actions to visitors and exhibitors of Rocalia.

The Winter Garden

The winter garden is the theme chosen for the joint work that will be carried out by the three trades: landscape gardener, stonemason and designer marble worker.
This exhibition space was designed by Tiphaine MAIRE, designer, interior architect, designer, scenographer (https://www.tiphainemaire.com/) and produced jointly by young people in training in the trades of gardening-landscaping, marble-design and stonemasonery, with the support of their training centers, their companies and the event partners.
Some criteria from the specifications for WorldSkills competitions and elements created during previous phases of the current WorldSkills France competition have been incorporated into the design and construction of this exhibition.
