Description

Pointe-du-Buisson offers a high school educational program designed to help students understand the organization of a society on its territory, interpret a territorial issue, build global citizenship and question social realities from a historical perspective. It leads students to question the clues to the past found by archaeologists and their relationship with the transformation of territories. It also provides a deeper understanding of how people adapt to their environment. Using Pointe-du-Buisson as an example, the proposed educational program encourages students to think about the protection of natural and historic environments.

The objectives

  • Recognize the social and territorial realities of the past;
