A day with feet in the water and head in nature!

In July, the Conseil Municipal des Enfants (CME) took part in a marine ecology awareness day in La Seyne-sur-Mer.

Une journée les pieds dans l’eau et la tête dans la nature !

POSIDONIA This outing, as enriching as it was original, aimed to raise children's awareness of the preservation of the Méditerranée coastline through fun, immersive, and educational activities. Throughout the day, the children discovered the wealth of local marine fauna and flora. Supervised by specialized instructors, they explored the coastline, identified marine species, took part in an activity about Posidonia — an emblematic but threatened plant of the Méditerranée — and even let their creativity run wild by creating ephemeral land art works.

A highlight of the day was the creation of a collective fresco made from plant-based inks, combining artistic expression and ecological commitment. Beyond the recreational aspect, this day met precise educational objectives, namely the transmission of knowledge about the marine environment, learning by doing, and strict compliance with the zero-waste approach.

A flawless performance by the little eco-citizens who demonstrated, once again, that commitment to the planet does not wait for the number of years.
