Boulogne-sur-Mer/Galati ; Comment protéger nos espaces côtiers ?

<< Background >>CLIMATE CHANGE The project raises students' awareness of environmental issues through a theme that directly concerns them: the coastal areas where they live in the face of the fight against global warming. We want these young people to be actors in the actions to be undertaken in the near future and two vectors guide our action: - media and information literacy; - openness to Europe. MEDIA AND INFORMATION LITERACY The evolution of our information environment requires the development of media and information literacy, because disinformation does not spare scientific circles. On climate issues, students are confronted with totally opposing, climate-sceptical, even conspiratorial discourses. In terms of science and the environment, the search for solutions requires access to reliable information. Our proposal supports students and teachers in the development of these key skills. DISCOVER EUROPE Our project offers students a cultural opening to the European project. The aim is to understand how the European Union provides solutions to local environmental issues and to discover the solutions implemented in partner countries.<< Objectives >>TO DEVELOP INNOVATIVE PRACTICES Promote education and information literacy and environmental issues through the co-production of stories and media productions between students, teachers and journalists with 2 themes: - information professions; - environmental issues related to global warming in Boulogne-sur-Mer (France) and Galati (Romania). CO-CONSTRUCTION We encourage cooperation between teachers and journalists, actors from professional worlds who are not used to collaborating. Co-construction leads to actions where everyone acts according to their skills, their missions, their practices. Teachers do not become journalists. Reporters do not improvise as teachers. Regarding work on the environment, direct contacts with scientists are privileged. FEEL EUROPEAN The partner establishments wish to open up to Europe. Two school mobilities promote cultural openness and raise awareness of the participants' European citizenship. For Romanian students, this is an opportunity, as part of learning French as a foreign language, to be in contact with the French-speaking world.<< Implementation >>MEDIA AND INFORMATION WEBINARS The students discussed several times with their school's partner journalists. By asking them questions, they discovered the profession of journalist and the challenges of information production. They were made aware of issues that concern them, such as false information that is disseminated on social networks. CO-REALIZATION OF STORIESThe dialogue with journalists continued with the co-production of reports/interviews to understand, in a concrete way, how quality information is produced and the work required to produce it. The classes benefited from the advice of professional journalists to develop questionnaires and then organize and conduct interviews. MEDIA PRODUCTIONS The journalistic work was finalized through various media productions produced by the students on various media: video, audio, written, etc. TWO MOBILITIES Two school trips were organized: - 21 students and 3 teachers from the Alexandru Iona Cuza National High School in Galați went to Boulogne-sur-Mer. - 18 students and 4 teachers from the Roger Salengro College went to Romania.<< Results >>PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENTThe management costs item allowed the classes to equip themselves with equipment and tools that were used during the project and that will subsequently be used in other educational activities. It covered small expenses incurred when hosting the partner establishment.THE COREALISED REPORTSThe two classes developed 10 questionnaires. With the help of journalists, they interviewed people who were able to answer their questions. These interviews translated into French are freely accessible and downloadable: https://globe-reporters.org/spip.php?rubrique471THE DISCOVERY OF BUCHAREST AND GALATIDuring the mobility in Romania, young French people from social backgrounds who travel very little were able to discover the capital Bucharest and the Galati region.DISCOVERING THE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES RELATED TO THEIR NEARBY ENVIRONMENTIn France, Romanian students worked on coastal issues and participated in the Team for Ocean festival organized by Nausicaa on the occasion of World Oceans Day.TELEVISION BROADCASTSThe Galati class conducted 3 television interviews.OTHER MEDIA PRODUCTIONSThe students produced various media productions: podcasts, Instagram posts, etc.
