Au fil des plantes !

Learn how to make your prehistoric material with abundant, sustainable and biodegradable plant resources harvested from the surrounding mountains. Thanks to rope techniques, make your Cro-Magnon bracelet.

The workshop takes place in 3 stages:
– Through the example of Ötzi, a Neolithic man found with his equipment in a glacier in the Alps, the group observes that part of the equipment was made with plant fibers
– The children discover plants from which fibers can be extracted to make materials, clothes, etc. Then they distinguish the techniques of braiding and rope.
– They make their bracelet from plant fibers.

The educational objectives:
– Discover the plant materials used since prehistory to make equipment.
– Experiment with the transition from a plant to a fiber.
– Learn the techniques for making rope or braiding.
– Understand through fiber plants what are the consequences of the transition from a self-sufficient society to a globalized society
– Understand that our actions and our consumption have an impact on the environment and our society.
