In 2020, this first audio-description project brought together the mahJ and the cultural and social enterprise Ce que Mes Yeux Ont vu, the Second Chance School in Seine-Saint-Denis and the closed educational centre in Épinay-Sur-Seine.

Around fifteen young people, some of whom were learning French as a foreign language, took part in eight activities at the mahJ: a tour of the museum, focusing on the discovery of ten objects - including lamps for the Festival of Lights, a Moroccan Jewish wedding dress, a sculpture of Alfred Dreyfus, etc. - as well as mediation workshops around the works and theatre workshops to learn how to use their voices. These sessions also involved around twenty members of museum staff.

These activities culminated in a trio of students and museum staff recording the works, the highlight of the project.

More than a media tool, the Pastilles sonores are an inclusive, participatory project that reflects the values of intercultural dialogue espoused by the mahJ.
