Ecolangue
Ecolangue is an award-winning project at the 2022 ecology fair in Saint-Denis
(https://www.clicanoo.re/article/societe/2022/09/19/le-challenge-green-tech-a-trouve-ses-laureats).
It consists of a series of workshops aimed at children from kindergarten to primary schools whose objective is to kindle their environmental awareness and provide them with an initiation to foreign languages and vice versa.
In other words, during our workshops we are presenting foreign languages in a fun and efficient manner by instilling a sense of curiosity and sensitivity to ecology starting from an early age.
We have led those workshops in many schools in Poland and as we were amazed by the positive results they brought, we would like to offer them to schools on Reunion island.
The workshops take place in schools and cover a growing number of topics related to the environment ranging from water conservation to recycling.
They can be presented in 4 different European languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese and Polish (during one workshop one topic in one selected language is presented).
The workshops consist in 3 parts:
1. First steps with a foreign language. The kids will learn how to introduce themselves, greet, express what they like.
2. Vocabulary and notions related to a given topic to enable to kids to describe what's around them.
3. Introduction to everyday eco-friendly gestures and bad habits to avoid.
The 3 parts are presented in a playful way and are always connected to their surroundings on Reunion Island.
Coming soon:
-
The “practical part” with hands-on activities in association with our partners.
-
The access to an online video game which allows pupils to learn how to behave responsibly in their environment, compete if they want with their classmates, other schools in the region, in the country and in the whole world.
