Marine Educational Areas PapetoaiAs part of the Marine Educational Area Label (AME), Papetoai school organized its Sea Council on Monday June, 8th to finalize its request for the AME label.

This Council, which took place on World Oceans Day, saw the participation of Mr. Roland Sanquer, representative for the DGEE (Directorate General for Education and Teaching), Papetoai school director, Municipality of Moorea representatives and finally cultural and environmental referents, including Te mana o te moana.

After a general presentation in the 3 classes of CM1 and CM2, the two delegates appointed by each class led the Sea Council during which they presented their AME zone located in front of the Papeotai quay and explained the actions they wish to set up during next school year.

Indeed, once the label has been granted, the school must carry out actions throughout the year to enhance the label.

Many ideas were proposed by the students: garbage collection, river cleaning, information via the creation of information panels in 3 languages, education of the population and school students, creation of a newspaper, preparation of TV reports, development of fact sheets for flora and fauna and much more…

Congratulations to the students as well as to the teachers and the various guests for their commitment to act for the environment!

]]> First meeting for the Marine Educational Area label https://www.temanaotemoana.org/en/first-meeting-for-the-marine-educational-area-label/ Thu, 19 Oct 2017 19:16:43 +0000 http://www.temanaotemoana.org/?p=12659 Last month was held the first meeting of generation 4 of schools wishing to obtain the Marine Educational Area label (AME).
As a reminder, the label is awarded to schools that engage in a process of participatory management of the marine environment. This label highlights their commitment to the protection of the marine environment. The schools will have to respect a charter and a specification to obtain the label. It is therefore a participative management approach involving pupils around a project of citizen action of knowledge and management of the marine environment. In French Polynesia, this concept is carried out by the DGEE (General Direction of Education and Teaching of French Polynesia) and initiated by the AFB (French Association for Biodiversity) and Motu Haka, in partnership with Te mana o te moana and Créocean a design office with whom we have collaborated since our origins
As a member of the COPIL of the AME label, our association went to this meeting. We were able to participate in the presentation of the label to the schools wishing to obtain the labeling and the steps to be taken to achieve it . A second meeting is planned at the end of the year for the schools to present their progress in relation to the process.
