Why tours for schoolchildren?
The aim of these visits is to deliver a civic message. This message is based on the recall of the development of the universal values common to all French citizens like equality, freedom, brotherhood, the sovereignty of the people, justice, mutual respect, secularism, honour, dignity, service, merit, heroism and setting an example. It is a reminder of a common heritage: history and memory.
The methodological aims are based on the knowledge and skills of the group involved, on interdisciplinary competencies, on the dynamics of the project and on bringing out the best in each young person.
