Making our lives greener in the city!


For the 15th consecutive year, 
a special Heritage Day for Youth is organized
by the CAUE
(Council for Architecture, Town Planning
and the Environment)
on the 2nd Friday of September each year 
just one day before the European Heritage Days.

The Council aims at raising the awareness
of young people in schools of the importance of their local urban, cultural, architectural
and landscape heritage. 

Adapted visits and workshops are then held to make them experience something unique and memorable.

And, in this way, the Art teacher Ms. Bourlet and I took the 9th Graders of 3ème 2
on a kind of "Green" Treasure hunt
in their neighbourhood, 
from their school to the East foot of the Eiffel Tower between 11.00 a.m. to 12.15 p.m..
Then, they went picnicking on the grass
 in the Champs-de-Mars park.
Finally, we took them to the Quai Branly Museum


where a guide was waiting to make them visit
the Artists' Garden"!
















*

The class was first divided
 into 2 big  groups of 13 and 15; then, in smaller groups of 3 or 4students.

*

Each big group had a Chief Group Leader.

*

Each small groups had:
-1 Street Guide.
-1 Notaker.
-1 photographer.
-1 Camera boy or girl.

*

The 2 big groups
 had 2 different Mission directions and instructions
with 
a street map,
4 tickets or 1 transport pass.

*

They could win Green points!

*
The teachers only followed them
and
observed the way
 they took part in the different challenges
and behaved in the group.
