Street Art: 'The Page'

La Page is a ‘homework school’. Literally translated, this is a ‘homework school’, a place where children and young people can do their homework after school hours. In reality, this school does much more, and you can find a variety of activities there in addition to academic guidance, such as workshops of all kinds and for all ages, even for parents. You can engage in sports, and holiday internships are organized, ...
In a multicultural city like Verviers, the values of tolerance, respect, solidarity, and responsibility are also promoted here.

The fresco dates back to 1996, a few years after the homework school was established. It was created by the Verviers artist and illustrator Jean Lequeu (1948 – 2017) in a playful, cheerful, and dynamic style, very accessible for children. As a young boy, Lequeu attended the former municipal boys' school here.
