A place to learn
Pointe-du-Buisson offers an educational program for the second cycle of elementary school, aimed at understanding the organization of a society on its territory. It connects present-day social and territorial realities to the past by revealing the traces of the past on our territory. Through a variety of activities, students discover how ancient societies adapted to and transformed their territory.
Au cours de la visite, les élèves sont initiés à l’archéologie et à l’étude des modes de vie passés. Leur imaginaire est stimulé lors de l’analyse des artefacts du passé et de leur place dans les modes de vie anciens. Par la comparaison et la catégorisation, les élèves recherchent des liens entre la société actuelle et la préhistoire afin de mieux la comprendre.
