Maison de L'Ecologie Provence (MEP) is an association for environmental education.
The association promotes sustainable development ideas to raise level of environemental awareness. It also creates and makes available free-of-charge downloadable teaching tools; to raise awareness among as many children as possible of the importance of the air/water quality, nature and biodiversity.
Air and Me programme : to raise awareness of air quality. Air and Me is a creative and co-operative initiative, co-created with many actors (children, teachers, experts, facilitators, parents...). Thanks to Air an Me, more than 500,000 chidren have now been made aware of air quality. Water and Me programme : to raise awareness of water access and conservation. Nature and Us programme : to raise awareness of the importance of nature and biodiversity. The program came from the project "Les Calanques et Nous", realised in partnership with the Calanques National Park (France); through which 10 educational tools on the Park's biodiversity, geology, history and protection issues have been created. Nature and Us aims now to create a real awareness network, for the preservation of different natural sites. All Regional and National Parks is then invited to participate in the programme, to have educational tools adapted to their territory.
Our association are really interesting in contributing to the Anna Lindh Network. As the Foundation is focussed on intercultural action and also build dialogues and exchanges amongst societies ; we think we could share and improve our environemental awareness actions through your network.
Maison de L'Ecologie Provence is interested in empowering exchange on environmental issues. In order to leave to the future genarations a better world, we need to interact with other organisations. Our association also needs to enlarge its perspectives, to be able to raise awareness among more children.
