On Tuesday May 25, a big Community Action Day took place. It was a for 180 grade 4 students by Saint Stanislas’ school. There were workshops such as one for creating bulk bags or masks. YRE students were involved, worked on waste and in collaboration with the association called “Hirondelle”. At the same time, a waste collection was organized in the establishment by a 6th grade class. The day of action gave rise to an exhibition which lasted one week. Reports and the product of waste collection were including there.

Albert Schweitzer middle school also held a well-developed Community Action Day. Initially scheduled from April 5 to 16, the programme took place from June 14 to June 22. It was an opportunity to exhibit virtually and, in the documentation and information centre. The work of students was showcased such as posters, reports and podcast. The goal was also to offer various educational workshops related to the climate class project.

On this occasion, the Nature et Société association intervened in all 6th grade classes with different subjects such as deciphering the news, understanding global environmental issues through experimentation and observation or being a local player. The eco-delegates especially had to take part in a discovery trail of local biodiversity between the college and the house of nature with same stakeholders as already quoted. The sustainable development and vegetable garden clubs held activities and workshops to showcase their actions with primary school students.

Many other eco-responsible actions were planned such as a clean run. This programme reached between 300 and 700 people.
