Graduation project by Pierre Dorion

Children and guns don't belong together! Or do they…? The designer wants to challenge the taboos that make us, as adults, react against children engaging in war games. On the contrary, he believes that playing with 'finger guns' and toy guns promotes the children's motor skills and self-confidence, teaching them to deal with aggression in a fun and playful manner.

That is why he has designed workshops in collaboration with after-school programmes, where the children themselves become action heroes, build their own imaginative weapons and organize creative fighting games, rather than conforming to the media's actual images of war.
