In partnership
with CENCA
A participatory program at the initiative schools and students.
An educational land area is a small land area (urban park, wasteland, wetland, forest, river, etc.) which becomes the support for an educational project of knowledge and preservation of the environment for pupils of CM1 in the 3rd, their teacher and their referent (an actor in the sphere of environmental education).
This eco-citizen approach is based on the participative management of an area delimited by a class. This project is being rolled out over several years.
By meeting in the form of a "children's council", the pupils reflect and make all the decisions concerning their educational terrestrial area.
This is an opportunity for them to discover their territory and its actors as part of an environmental education project during which they develop the skills of the school program. The child must learn in nature, reconnect with it, rediscover it to better protect it and above all measure the importance of the place of water in the reconquest of biodiversity.
The Educational Terrestrial Area has several interests:
* Better knowledge of the territory
* Discover the importance of water for biodiversity
* Preserve and raise awareness on very broad themes (nature, agricultural practices, leisure use, etc.)
* Meeting and link with local actors (farmers, hunters, sports federations, elders, ...)
* Learn differently by positioning yourself as an actor: putting lessons/knowledge into practice
learned in class
* Rewarding eco-citizen approach: launch a dynamic of environmental preservation in the
village
* Transmit the project at the end of each year to new CM1
The Municipality of Val-de-Vesle is one of the first municipalities in the Marne to set up an "Educative Terrestrial Area".
