Published on in Agenda

The seminar to be held on Friday, March 25 from 2 to 5 p.m. has the following items on its agenda:

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

The SOLALECOLE project involves supporting the development of citizen science projects around urban agroecology in schools (middle schools). Cities are highly specific ecosystems where pressures on biodiversitý are significant (soil artificialisation, pollution, heat islands, etc.). The reappropriation of spaces by citizens, and in particular the creation and maintenance of collective urban gardens, is a transformation that responds to these various challenges. However, this transformation is not trivial, and we can't and shouldn't expect citizen involvement to be ever-present. The project aims to design and implement a methodological approach at two sites (Montpellier and Nancy) in pilot middle schools. We are using soil science, environmental psychology and participatory simulation to collectively study participants' motivations and limitations in pursuing and maintaining this urban agroecology initiative.
