Humeau
The association Expedition Protect ocean aims to raise awareness about ocean pollution through a rowing across the Atlantic by one of its members, Dominique Humeau.
An educational kit is available to enable schools wishing to focus their 2023-2024 school year on the theme of the sea, its biodiversity and the ecological impacts generated by human activity.
Exchanges with the classes that will take part in the project will be organized before and after the crossing, as well as with all the partners of this challenge.

Partnership
Such a project requires material and financial resources, purchase of the boat, navigation and safety equipment, training in open sea navigation, transport logistics, etc. Several organizations believed in the educational and sporting interest of the project and trusted me to carry it out successfully.
Educational project
The Atlantic rowing project also has an educational purpose to raise awareness of ocean pollution.
To do this, Talensac teachers, with the approval of Ms. Marsa, National Education Inspector, have developed an educational kit in 15 sheets for cycle 2 and cycle 3 students.
This kit will be presented to Montfort Community schools, who will be able to use it during the 2023-2024 school year.
For interested classes, meetings will be organized to present the project and throughout the crossing, email exchanges will be possible so that the children can experience the adventure up close.
