The Artiste No Tahiti association, based in Papeete, is involved in training young landscape professionals who have been given the responsibility of creating the first eco-village in French Polynesia. This project is being carried out in partnership with the company API Formation, the preferred partner of businesses and local authorities in the Territory and the commune of Punauia.

The Paysage et patrimoine sans frontière association’s website has online resources for the landscape professions, aimed at students and teachers at European technical colleges. It is studying a new material which in many areas has replaced traditional materials such as glass, metal and wood : Plexiglas.

The travel book project by the pupils of the technical schools Polo Val Boite de Cortina d’ Ampezzo in Italy and Mugla Güzel Santlar Ve Spor Lisesi de Mugla in Turkey resulted from the experience lived through by the trainers of the partnership Leonardo da Vinci " Échanges de pratiques sur la formation au paysage " during the third transnational visit which took place in Cortina d’ Ampezzo in September, 2011.

"Inaugurated yesterday, the exhibition of Putahi is to be seen in the Centre des Métiers d’Art till the end of August. You can appreciate the works of around thirty artists grouped from four corners of the Pacific for the occasion. Painting, sculptures, installations, digital works, plaiting, engraving, the idea of this meeting was to confront teachers and pupils, to witness knowledge and know-how, initiatives and inspirations to produce creations in the image of the region : anchored in its cultures, contemporary and opened to the world.
