Target audience : primary and secondary schools

Objective : develop twinning between classrooms of biosphere reserves to :

• Share knowledge in a partnership spirit
• Develop various activities (scientific, literacy, artistic, language) from biosphere resources : nature, human activities, landscapes…

Organization : During the academic year, classroom of biosphere reserves at same level work together on a theme jointly selected. It would be better if the education project is implemented through a transversal approach, with a team composed ideally of several teachers, or at least two (sciences, plastic arts, history-geography, language…) for secondary level.

Children are exchanging through letters, email, texts, drawings and are creating tools (CDRoms, exhibitions…) to discover their site or specific parts of it. If possible, they can meet at the end of the year, through exchange journeys or youth forums (this needs logistics and financial supports and entails responsibilities issues).

Modalities : an exchange grant can assist in identifying the twinning partner.

The information below have to be put on line, either at the end of the academic year (May - June for a twining during the following year), or at the start of the academic year (September).
