Workshops for Elementary Schools

Animals & Climate

Half day
Questioning the world
200€ (no VAT)

Prehistoric arts

Half day
Plastic arts
250 (no VAT)
CP CE1 3RD GRADE CM1 CM2

Prehistoric art isn't just about cave paintings! Through a variety of activities, students will explore the different forms of prehistoric art: cave art, rock art and furniture art. They will also have the opportunity to test the methods used by prehistoric artists through experiments.

Human evolution

Half day
Questioning the world
200€ (no VAT)
CP CE1 3RD GRADE CM1 CM2

Which human species preceded Homo sapiens? When did our own species appear? What makes human beings special? These fascinating questions will be explored by students through a variety of activities.

Life in prehistoric times

Half day
Questioning the world
200€ (no VAT)
CP CE1 3RD GRADE CM1 CM2

Students discover the way of life of prehistoric men and women during the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods. Through a variety of activities, students will have the opportunity to slip into the shoes of archaeologists.

A day exploring prehistory

Day
Questioning the world
400 (no VAT)
CP CE1 3RD GRADE CM1 CM2

Students set out to discover Prehistory, from the Palaeolithic to the Neolithic! Themes are explored through games and workshops to give students an overview of prehistory.

Workshops for Middle school

Theories & practices in cave art

2 hours
Plastic arts
200€ (no VAT)
6th 5th 4th 3rd

The first part of the course addresses the following questions: What is cave art? How was it made? What materials were used? What techniques were used? To answer these questions, we draw on emblematic examples such as the Chauvet and Lascaux caves. In the second hour, we invite students to put into practice the techniques they have studied on their own.

Prehistoric arts

2 hours
History of art
160€ (no VAT)
6th 5th

This course introduces the different types of prehistoric art that have existed, whether movable, parietal or rock art. Because prehistoric art isn't confined to Europe, we're taking a trip around the world to show students the different forms of artistic representation in space and time. In addition, we are highlighting a number of emblematic works and caves. Debates about the origins of prehistoric art and the methods used to study it are also addressed.

The beginnings of humanity

2 hours
History
160€ (no VAT)
6th

We suggest taking students through the major stages in the beginnings of human history. What are the different human species that have existed? What are the major milestones of prehistory? What major technical advances marked this period? After an hour's general overview of human history, we focus on the emergence ofHomo sapiens in Africa and its dispersal throughout the world.

The Neolithic revolution

2 hours
History
160€ (no VAT)
6th

What is the Neolithic Revolution? During this course, we propose to present the four major changes that took place at this time: the birth of agriculture, the appearance of livestock farming, the manufacture of ceramics and the adoption of a sedentary lifestyle. We examine the case of the European Neolithic, while also looking at other regions of the world, to show students that Neolithization is not a uniform process across the globe.

What is evolution?

2 hours
SVT
160€ (no VAT)
5th 4th 3rd

The first part of this course is an introduction to the theory of evolution by natural selection. This theoretical section outlines the history of the concept, before exploring how it works and its main mechanisms. In the second part of the course, we illustrate these evolutionary mechanisms with concrete examples.

The different human species

2 hours
SVT
160€ (no VAT)
5th 4th 3rd

We propose to trace the thread of human evolutionary history with our students. What different species of hominins have existed? Our aim is to explore the concept of evolution through human history, and to show students that evolution is complex and non-linear. In addition, we present current debates within the scientific community concerning the hypothetical ancestors ofHomo sapiens.

Animal and plant domestication

2 hours
SVT
160€ (no VAT)
5th 4th 3rd

In this course, we propose to explore two major innovations: animal and plant domestication. These processes, which began in the Neolithic period in the Near East, led to major socio-economic and technical upheavals in human societies. We propose to retrace the major stages in these processes and put them into perspective with the evolution of animal and plant species.

Workshops for High Schools

Prehistoric arts

2 hours
Plastic arts option
200€ (no VAT)
Second First Terminal

This course introduces the different types of prehistoric art that have existed, whether movable, parietal or rock art. Because prehistoric art isn't confined to Europe, we're taking a trip around the world to show students the different forms of artistic representation in space and time. In addition, we are highlighting a number of emblematic works and caves. Debates about the origins of prehistoric art and the methods used to study it are also addressed.

A bushy evolution, the case of the Hominins

2 hours
SVT, "Evolution
180 (no VAT)
Second Terminal

We propose to trace the thread of human evolutionary history with our students. What different species of hominins have existed? Our aim is to explore the concept of evolution through human history, and to show students that evolution is complex and non-linear. In addition, we present current debates within the scientific community concerning the hypothetical ancestors ofHomo sapiens.

Introduction to Paleoanthropology

Half day
SVT, "Biodiversity and stages of evolution
180 (no VAT)
Second

Paleoanthropology is a scientific discipline that focuses on the study of the origins and evolution of the human lineage. In this course, we introduce students to this discipline, covering its constitution as a scientific field, its research methods, and the fundamental principles applied to the study of our origins.

Climate cycles

2 hours
SVT, "Quaternary
180 (no VAT)
First

Climate and environment have varied throughout the Earth's history. Climatic cyclicity as we know it was established during the Quaternary, with alternating glacial and interglacial phases. What mechanisms are responsible for this cyclicity? What influence has it had on the environment, flora and fauna? We explore these aspects through a lecture followed by case studies.

Population genetic studies

2 hours
SVT, "Genetics and Evolution
180 (no VAT)
Terminal

How do we study past populations from a genetic point of view? In this course, we explore fundamental concepts in molecular biology, such as the molecular basis of biological heredity and the mechanisms behind genetic variability. These concepts will then be applied to study the genetic history of our species.

Animal and plant domestication in the Neolithic

2 hours
SVT, "Wild and domestic plants".
180 (no VAT)
Terminal

In this course, we propose to explore two major innovations: animal and plant domestication. These processes, which began in the Neolithic period in the Near East, led to major socio-economic and technical upheavals in human societies. We propose to retrace the major stages in these processes and put them into perspective with the evolution of animal and plant species.
