Today, we find our podcast Minute Papillon!
our meeting "The bubble", where we address issues of society and our daily life.
“Our children need to be in contact with nature to thrive.
And ... Nature also needs a new generation to know and defend it ”.
This is the thesis of Frédéric Plénard, teacher in Life and Earth Sciences (SVT), who published "
The child and Nature, and if the link to nature was the secret of an education in happiness ?
»(Editions du Rocher, 18.90 euros).
This teacher and director of several documentaries believes that only education "sensitive" to nature can lead new generations to change their outlook on nature, to better respect it, but also to be happier, with oneself and with others.
Education and legislation
For “Minute Papillon!
», This teacher, who has accompanied groups of young people and children in immersive stays in nature, answers the following questions:
Why is education little, if any, addressed when we talk about ecological transition?
To discover, understand, learn about nature, you speak of "sensitive contact" with it.
What does that mean ?
Why is this “sensitive contact” important?
This "return to nature" would have brakes, according to you.
You recall the legal obligations of a collective stay in nature, which constrains the management of food, activities such as shore fishing or swimming.
Why assert that legislation can be “a major obstacle” in the organization of collective stays in nature?
His answers can be heard in our podcast above (9 minutes)
