The Chablais Geopark celebrates Science
From Sunday 29 September to Saturday 12 October 2024
Every day
Presentation
For the 2024 edition, the Chablais UNESCO World Geopark has concocted a scientific itinerary full of varied activities to learn more about the aquatic past of Chablais rocks and how it can help us prevent future changes.
On the program:
SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 29 at Château de Ripaille - 10am > 4pm
COULEURS DU LAC 6th edition "mémoire d'avenir du Léman" (memories of the future of Lake Geneva)
co-organized by Association de Sauvegarde du Léman
What can the past teach us about the future? The answer in philosophy, scientific conferences (Walter WILDI, Professor of Geology at the University of Geneva and Jean-Philippe Jenny Limnologue, researcher at INRAE), lunch, guided tour and round table. For insiders. Reservations required: https://asleman.org/inscription-couleurdulac/
SATURDAY OCTOBER 5 at the THONON media library
>> 10 a.m. > 5 p.m.: Come and meet the Geopark's key players to find out more about the UNESCO label and discuss the rocks of the Chablais and the geology behind our landscapes. Open to all.
>> 2pm > 3pm or 3:30pm > 4pm - WORKSHOP: Fossils and the history of life - From age 6.
Did you know? The rocks of the Chablais region were formed in seas full of dinosaurs. This workshop traces the history of life back through geological time, as well as that of our Chablais rocks
rocks of the Chablais region, heirs to the Tethys Sea, a veritable aquatic playground for dinosaurs.
By reservation: 04 50 71 79 61
WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 9 at the THONON multimedia library
2pm > 2:45pm or 3pm > 3:45pm - WORKSHOP: Tale of the unsuspected life of a pebble. For 3-6 year-olds.
The pebbles of the Chablais region all have their own story, but where do the pebbles found on the shores of Lake Geneva actually come from? After the story, children reconstruct the hero's story around a relief model, consolidating what they've learned and discovering the phenomena of erosion and sedimentation.
Reservations required: 04 50 71 79 61
SATURDAY OCTOBER 12 /// Depart from Col de Creusaz parking lot, route du Mont Bénand BERNEX
10h > 16h
NATURE OUTING: the evolution of the plant world
Supervised by a mountain leader specialized in plants, this nature outing will enable you to learn more about the evolution of the plant world, initially aquatic, which then colonized the terrestrial environment, through the rocks encountered.
