Campus de la transition écologique

Things to do at the Parc

The Campus de la transition écologique is partnering with Parc Jean-Drapeau's program to offer research, awareness and experimental activities which provokes thought about lifestyles and relationships with nature. The Campus is part of the 2020-2030 vision for the future, which is aimed at making Parc Jean-Drapeau a park that is more accessible, green and blue, and an actual laboratory of best practices in sustainable development.

The mission of the Campus is to propose and craft tangible solutions on various thematic issues, including agriculture and biodiversity, water cycling and wetlands, forestry, citizenship and climatic equity, culture and heritage, energy and mobility.

Activities and projects

La mitaine perdue

1er mars 2023

L'atelier gratuit offre aux familles une expérimentation hivernale urbaine dont le but est de jouer et de révéler le potentiel d'usages, d'imaginaires et de récits d'un espace de stationnement détourné en terrain d'aventures éphémère à l'aide de matériaux de jeu ouverts et polyvalents.

L'expérience est conçue pour des enfants âgés de 3 à 8 ans, bien que tous les enfants soient les bienvenus.

L'atelier s'insère dans le cadre de la résidence artistique de l'artiste chercheuse Marie-Hélène Roch au Campus de la transition écologique et est fait en collaboration avec l'équipe de Metalude.
