Every day of the week, Jérôme Lacroix brings you the best of initiatives that are changing the world, on the web and in the regions!
This Wednesday, Stéphen Bouron, a Vendée teacher living in Morocco, is using the Vendée Globe race as a teaching aid to teach the different subjects to his students.
The initiatives, the good ideas of these citizens who take action to improve everyday life. They often act in the shadows, we highlight them every morning with Jérôme Lacroix and this Wednesday, the teacher who dust off the teaching.
You may remember, several months ago, this primary school teacher, who invented, in French, "La rule de Mbappé".
We write M and not N in front of m, b, p.
Or this college teacher who taught the Pythagorean theorem thanks to the triangle formed by Paul Pogba's arms, during the dab, a celebration of goals specific to the Blues player.
Reconciling sports news and education, it matches!
In the same vein, Stéphane Bouron is an expatriate teacher at Marcoc but originally, he is Vendéen.
A native Vendée which returns tirelessly to its daily life every four years, during each edition of the Vendée Globe, around the world by sailing.
The next one leaves on November 8th.
The race becomes for Stéphen Bouron, a formidable educational support.
How does he do it concretely?
The race is used for a myriad of disciplines: reading via a presentation of the event followed by a comprehension questionnaire, History via Magellan who made the first round the world, geography with Les Sables d'Olonne, d 'where the test starts but also the study of maps, how to find your way around.
He uses the Vendée Globe to also talk about math via nautical miles, the distance calculation between two competitors and the conversion into kilometers.
Literature is also studied with a projection, for example, on Jules Verne's novel "20,000 leagues under the seas".
And a novelty this year with its CM1 and CM2, they decipher plastic pollution in the oceans.
And this work caught the eye of several Vendée Globe sailors such as Tanguy de la Motte or Kito de Pavant.
Four years ago, Stéphane Bouron and a dozen students even went to the start of the event and were able to board a sailboat.
His colossal work constitutes a file of over 60 pages which is available on his site, edukely.net.
