Physical Education Seminar

Published on in Agenda

The seminar on Friday, March 25, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., will cover the following agenda items:

1.Presentation of the SOLALECOLE project by Manon Bodin (SOLALECOLE intern), Nathalie Fromin (CEFE researcher, project leader), and Christian Reynaud 

The SOLALECOLE project consists of supporting the development of citizen science projects focused on urban agroecology in schools (middle schools). Cities are very specific ecosystems where pressure on biodiversity is significant (land artificialization, pollution, heat islands, etc.). The reappropriation of spaces by citizens, and in particular the creation and maintenance of urban community gardens, is a transformation that responds to these various challenges. However, this transformation is not insignificant, and we cannot and should not expect citizens to remain committed indefinitely. The project aims to design and implement a methodological approach at two sites (Montpellier and Nancy) in pilot middle schools. We use soil science, environmental psychology, and participatory simulation to collectively study the motivations and limitations of participants in pursuing and maintaining this urban agroecology initiative.

2.Discussions on the collective work of the research area (in-person preferred)

3.Miscellaneous questions

This seminar will be held in hybrid mode (in room A109 and online).
