THE ROOTS OF THE PROJECT

“Des territoires, une voie” is a serious game created with Cosea and coproduced with the National Federation of Public Works (FNTP), BTP+ and other partners of the construction industry. The goal is to determine a route for the high-speed line connecting Tours to Bordeaux, while taking into account the wishes and opposition of stakeholders. This game offers the opportunity to be used for different grades and disciplines, including economics, geography and project management.

Partnerships between the educational and industrial communities resulted in the production of digital resources introducing students to an authentic vision of the industry, from Year 7 pupils to 2-year higher education students. Some resources are also created for apprentices, such as “Terrassor,” a building site simulator meant for higher education students in the technical and vocational fields.

All the resources produced in the framework of these partnerships are in the public domain for the education and made available to teachers and trainers on the platform named ETINCEL. They come with a pedagogical script, which is entirely editable.
