Monday morning, the room of the Territorial Council of the Community hosted the School Secularism Congress, as part of the National Secularism Day. All the pupils of the primary schools of Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy carried out work around the Charter of Laïcité at school.
It is in the presence of the Academy inspector, Dominique Boyer, of Céline Renger, pedagogical adviser in plastic arts of the district of the northern islands, of the teachers and of some parents, that this Congress dedicated to the secularism in schools.
This charter recalls the rules which make it possible to live together in the school space, and to help everyone to understand the meaning of these rules, to appropriate them and to respect them. The students produced a comic strip, each representing an article from the Charter of Secularism. Céline Renger explains that the students worked around the articles, “then they staged the articles of the Charter, and then became a comic strip. In the end, this work will become, in a compact way, an educational support to rework the Charter of Secularism for children ”.
If the elementary schools of the North Islands participated by producing a comic strip, the nursery schools were not left out and also contributed by producing various plastic productions.
Four students, who were elected from their schools, represented their school during this Secularism Congress. _RM
