Transform french high schools into third places dedicated to circular and inclusive economies.
Long description
La Ventil’ aims to create third places of educational innovation in French high schools.
Our goal is to change how we teach technology and manufacturing by creating new pedagogy with circular and inclusive economies at its center.
Our missions :
- Teach young citizens about the circular economy and the levers they have to reduce their footprint
- Motivate students with an active pedagogy where they learn through experiment and teach each other
- Open high schools and weave the local territory around to share infrastructure, ressources, and propose services for the community.
Since 2019, 240 students, 2 teachers, 2 design agencies, and a city council have worked together to transform an unused workshop into a welcoming multipurpose place for the school and its local territory.
Co-designed by the students, teachers, and designers, La Ventil’ has a fab lab, a repair cafe, a design room, a coworking space and more.
Anyone can learn during dedicated workshops or classes and validate hard and soft skills acquired through open badges system.
After four years, we have started designing a digital toolbox to manage the third space and measure its usage.
This toolbox will be open source to duplicate the experiment.
