Educational workshops

Activities linked to the Berre lagoon

We work to raise awareness, allowing everyone to deepen their knowledge of biodiversity, the history and functioning of the lagoon, air and water quality, plastics and recycling (among other topics) while having fun. Our workshops aim to make participants aware of the fragility of ecosystems and to inspire them to act for the environment, in their daily lives and through our field actions.

Awareness workshops are run throughout the year at festivals and other events, as well as in public institutions. We also work in companies, in partnership with works councils.

The educational content of our workshops
  • Our workshops tackle often complex environmental issues, which are presented in a simplified way for comprehension and accessibility, as they are largely aimed at a young audience.
  • We constantly evolve our workshops to adapt to the audience's expectations and the messages we want to convey. We often run the same workshops in the same towns, so we must update the rules, add puzzles and change content.
  • We regularly carry out bibliographic research on the various scientific themes covered. This approach increases the scientific knowledge of facilitators so they can master the subject in depth and better understand the systemic interactions of ecological processes.
  • The approach of 8 Vies pour la planète is to raise awareness of environmental challenges, and we want to go further by planting seeds of curiosity and knowledge — because even on a small scale, this is a major challenge.

Engaged classrooms

Aix-Marseille Provence Metropolitan Council project

As part of the "Classes engagées" public contract initiated by the Aix-Marseille Provence Metropolitan Council, which provides environmental education activities for young audiences.

Interventions take place in Marseille schools (4 classes on air quality, 2 classes on waste prevention, 5 classes on energy transition) as well as around the Berre lagoon (16 classes) on climate and energy transition, waste prevention and sound environment themes.

They are spread throughout the school year, in partnership with the CPIE of Aix-en-Provence and the CPIE of La Ciotat.

Training

The association offers two types of training: repair training and training on game and escape game creation. Find out more!
