The French Office for Biodiversity - La Hague Geopark has launched its 2025-2027 funding campaign for educational areas

An educational area is a small natural territory managed collaboratively by students from a primary, middle, or high school. Guided by their teachers and an environmental education organization, the students meet as a " children's council " and make all decisions concerning their educational area.

The main objectives of educational areas

To educate young people about eco-citizenship and sustainable development,
Reconnecting students to nature and their local area,
Promoting dialogue between students and stakeholders in nature (users, economic actors, managers of natural areas, etc.)
