The students of the Lantriac private school, thanks to the Vendée Globe, experience an educational adventure rich in lessons in the heart of the ocean.
All CE-CM students from the Notre-Dame Les Arcs-en-ciel school in Lantriac follow and work on the Vendée Globe. This legendary solo race around the world fascinates them and allows teachers to use this race as an educational tool to address various subjects such as geography, science, ecology, history and even economics.
The students follow the skippers, analyze the routes, and discover the environmental issues linked to navigation at sea.
Children discover life on board a boat and the many challenges skippers face. These stories enrich their understanding of the race and give them insight into the courage and determination needed to participate in such an event.
Beyond the educational aspect, the Vendée Globe also encourages students to think about contemporary issues such as climate change and the preservation of the oceans.
The children show real enthusiasm and keen interest in this race. Everyone had the pleasure of making the model of Samantha Davies' monohull.
