On the occasion of the COP21, ecological gardening educational workshops are set up for the children every Wednesday, thanks to the animators of the "La Rue Verte" collective.

Green Street

Green Street

The Maurice Ravel Animation Center located in Paris (12th) and the Education League have imagined, in 2012, a program of citizen actions of revegetation and beautification of the neighborhood, entitled Green Street, in partnership with the Mairie du 12ème, the services of the City of Paris, the social landlords RIVP and Paris Habitat.

The approach was part of a framework similar to a center of experimentation around the question of the reappropriation of public space by citizens and the place of agriculture in the city. Since, Green Street continues to expand activities in this direction.

Urban gardening workshops

In the different spaces of the gardens of Green Street, children will discover and learn about the different techniques of ecological gardening. The workshops take place on Wednesday afternoons and are aimed at children aged 5 to 13 with different time slots for different age groups.

As winter is not the best season for outdoor work, indoor activities are planned such as the creation of birdhouses or insects, the discovery of a playful way of sustainable development and urban ecology... full adequation with the news of the COP21 which is held in Le Bourget since November 30th until December 11th 2015!
