Each issue is broached in a very appropriate vocabulary and can be more or less developed, according to the class or school pedagogical plan.
The PACCARD Museum, it's also his mascot Campanelle®, a smart and mischievous little bell, who proposes an entertaining approach of the making process and the bell universe generally speaking.

Fort de ses 20 années d'expérience dans l'accueil des groupes scolaires, le Musée PACCARD décide en Octobre 2004 de développer toute une gamme d'outils pédagogiques au service des enseignants, afin de faciliter aux élèves la compréhension des procédés de fabrication - parfois fort complexes.
Ainsi naquit Campanelle®, une petite cloche espiègle et délurée, qui accompagne désormais petits et grands durant leur visite, à travers des jeux, des commentaires, des explications… une façon ludique de s'initier à l'univers de la cloche. Campanelle® (en latin campana = cloche), doit son nom à une étude pour piano de Franz Litz, "La Campanella", elle-même empruntée au final du Concerto pour Violon n°2, de Paganini, qui fait intervenir des cloches à main, connues sous le nom de "handbells".
