Dans cet atelier créatif et ludique, les participants apprennent à former des dessins d’animaux en utilisant les lettres arabes qui composent leur nom. À partir d’un mot simple (ex. : جمل – chameau), ils imaginent comment chaque lettre peut devenir un élément du corps de l’animal (bosse, pattes, tête…). L’activité favorise l’apprentissage du vocabulaire, la reconnaissance des lettres et développe l’expression artistique. Accessible aux enfants, adolescents et adultes débutants ou intermédiaires en arabe, cet atelier peut se réaliser sur papier ou sur écran, en présentiel ou en ligne.
