Children building insect hotels during a sustainability workshop.

Raise Awareness, Support, Inspire

I design immersive one-day programs for children aged 6–12, dedicated to the sustainability topic of your choice. Each day combines theory, practice, and creativity, connecting knowledge, concrete actions, and artistic expression — a turnkey format, aligned with the Swiss curriculum (PER) and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD).

Case Study

Raising Students’ Awareness of Biodiversity

 

​​At Préfleuri International Alpine School

(Villars-sur-Ollon), I designed and led a Biodiversity Day that guided students from understanding to action, and finally to creation.

 

The goalmake biodiversity tangible and motivating for children through an active pedagogy based on three complementary pillars — Theory, Practice, and Creativity.


The result: deeper understanding, meaningful actions, and genuine pride in contributing to the protection of nature.

​

A One-Day Journey built around 3 Pillars

​

  • Theory — Understanding to Take Action
    Games and guided discussions to introduce key concepts: biodiversity, ecosystems, and food chains (card games, short videos, and “What if…?” questions).
     

  • Practice — Learning by Doing
    Hands-on workshop: building insect hotels and planting local wildflowers to support pollinators, using child-friendly tools and natural materials.
     

  • Creativity — Connecting & Sensitivity
    Collective Land Art created with natural elements found on site: observe, collaborate, and craft a temporary artwork that strengthens emotional connection to nature.

Why it works

  1. Anchored learning: alternating between understanding → doing → creating reinforces key concepts.
     

  2. Motivation: students see the direct impact of their actions (building habitats, planting).
     

  3. Simple & replicable: easy-to-source materials, reasonable budget, and light logistics.

“This day allowed the children to connect what they learned to real, hands-on actions. They understood the importance of biodiversity while enjoying the creative process. The theory–practice–creativity format truly brings meaning to education for sustainable development.”
