Educational activities for schools
Explore the Famenne-Ardenne Geopark with your class! The Famennene-Ardenne Geopark offers schools within its territory a range of tailor-made educational activities, enabling pupils to discover and understand the exceptional geological, natural and cultural heritage of their region.
Our workshops are designed to spark young learners’ curiosity, strengthen their connection with their environment, and encourage reflection on the challenges of sustainable development.
Who is it for?
Our activities are intended for pupils:
in kindergarten (3rd year), primary and secondary education
attending schools located in the Geopark’s partner municipalities: Beauraing, Durbuy, Hotton, Marche-en-Famenne, Nassogne, Rochefort, Tellin and Wellin.
A pedagogical offer under development
The Famenne-Ardenne Geopark currently offers educational workshops focused on the discovery of rocks, fossils and local geology.
These activities, adapted to different school levels, allow students to become familiar with the landscapes, geological formations, and underground treasures that make the region so rich.
Our goal is to gradually help each student better understand the ground they live on and appreciate its unique geological history.
For other themes such as biodiversity, water, cultural heritage, or sustainable development, many educational resources are already available in the region, provided by local partners (nature centers, museums, NGOs, etc.).
We will be happy to guide you to these complementary resources according to your needs.
