Integrated into the general training field of "Environment and Consumption", this LES aims to exercise students' critical judgment regarding current environmental issues and actively involve them in environmental movements.

Curriculum Links and Developed Skills

The LES revolves around the main concepts of ecological transition and environmental movements, with a particular emphasis on the activism of environmental groups and the diversity of citizen actions. Through a variety of activities, students explore the richness of environmental claims and the plurality of available actions, from protests to digital activism.

Activities Overview

The LES begins by prompting students to reflect on the impact of climate protests, using archival images to stimulate conversation and critical thinking. This introduction lays the groundwork for a deeper exploration of the key players in ecological transition.

The first task, "Age Waits for No One", encourages students to discover and study the journeys of young environmental stars. This detailed research aims to show that ecological commitment does not wait for a certain age and that everyone can contribute in their own way.

April 22, Earth Day, is the focus of a specific conversation where students debate its usefulness and importance, thus highlighting the global impact of collective awareness.

The third task leads students to ponder "The Great Ecological Challenges of Quebec". By creating a poster, they summarize the issues and propose innovative solutions, the result of a critical analysis of the studied documents.

Finally, the closing task, "Groups in Action", offers a team research opportunity on active environmental groups in Quebec. Students must present these groups and illustrate how their actions contribute to combating local ecological challenges.
