Imagine the scene: your students observe a map of the Atlantic where the famous La Route du Rhum race takes place between Saint-Malo and Pointe-\u00e0-Pitre. They spot the trajectory of a boat, and start to wonder how you sleep on board in the open sea, why so much plastic accumulates in certain ocean areas, or what the winds really do to a racing trimaran.<\/span><\/p>\n

The questions arise on their own. And the lesson about marine currents or plastic waste, the one you struggled to bring alive, suddenly makes sense.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is exactly what is proposed <\/span>The Blue Race<\/b> : transforming a great maritime race into a pedagogical guideline<\/strong> to raise students\u2019 awareness of the protection of the ocean.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The Blue Race is based on storytelling and adventure<\/strong> to stir up students' curiosity. Following a boat in full crossing, deciphering storms, winds or distances traveled fascinates children spontaneously. And when their attention is there, scientific and environmental topics are much easier to set up in the classroom.<\/span><\/p>\n

The scheme is aimed, in particular, at pupils in <\/span>Cycle 2 and Cycle 3<\/b>. And it's completely free.<\/span><\/p>\n

Embark your class on the adventure of the next Route du Rhum with this free educational kit that I suggest you discover.<\/span><\/p>\n
