An educational terrestrial area (ATE) is a "small-sized terrestrial area" (urban park, wasteland, wetland, forest, river, etc.) which becomes the support for an educational project for knowledge and preservation of the environment. for students from CM1 to 3ème.
This eco-citizen approach is based on the participative management of an area delimited by a class. By meeting in the form of a "children's council", the pupils reflect and make all the decisions concerning their educational terrestrial area.
This is an opportunity for them to discover their territory and its actors as part of an environmental education project during which they develop the skills of the school program.
Educational Land Areas are based on the respect of a methodology and a charter, which aim to implement the three pillars constituting these areas:
– Develop the eco-citizenship of the youngest and education for sustainable development through a participatory approach to the management of a common good.
– Strengthen the preservation of natural environments through the mobilization of schools and local actors.
– Create territorial synergies between users, the educational community and actors of heritage spaces to bring out a new balanced relationship between society and the environment through sustainable development.
The program proposed by the French Office for Biodiversity which allows the school to access the "Educative Terrestrial Area" Label requires the opinion of the Executive Council of the Collectivity of Saint-Martin.
By decision of the Executive Council on July 13, a favorable opinion on the creation of an Educational Land Area in Quartier d'Orléans, a project led by the “Roche Gravée de Moho” College, was approved.
