Pedagogical propositions

Activities/ visits during a meeting

Visiting a monument: the castle of Versailles

(in how many languages the information leaflets /the website are …),

Analyse/observe the impact of the monument through the copies of the monument in the world.

Analyse/observe the impact of the monument through the number of visitors and their nationalities

(create a map to sum up their analysis)

Analyse/observe the impact of the monument through its attachment in other cultures (for example: the

United States)

2) The monument itself Examples of themes that could have been selected in relation to the visit

a. Philosophy/politics : The enlightenment philosophers, the Encyclopedia, Voltaire and his travels in

Europe

b. Politics : Some important peace treaties where signed there: 1783/1919 (Versailles, Trianon)

c. sciences : Scientific progress thanks to the Europeans research

history : the 1st flight of the Montgolfier brothers

Physics:

1. So much water! The drainage and water pressure problems

2. The creation of mirrors for the Hall of mirrors: Technical problems and spying.

Biology : acclimatization of pineapples in the King’s kitchen garden, the adoption of the

potatoes and the French fries

d. Geography : the expedition of La Pérouse = European discover the world

e. Music : visit of the opera, musicians of the court of the monarch

f. Art of the gardens : the Italian influence, the jardin à la française, the English gardens

Versailles on other European castles

the ceilings

Pedagogical propositions

Activities/ visits during a meeting

Visiting a museum: the Louvre Museum

1) Analyse/observe the impact of the monument through the diffusion of the information on the monument

(in how many languages the information leaflets /the website are …)

Analyse/observe the impact of the monument through the number of visitors and their nationalities

2) Examples of themes that could have been selected in relation to the visit

a) Geography: assess the number of European countries represented in the museum through the works

of art of European artists

b) Arts: study some of the most famous works of arts in the museum and present them to the rest of the

group insisting on their impact on the rest of the world.

c) History: select some works of art that illustrate our common European roots and their impact on the

rest of the world

d) The Louvre, 1st modern museum: Europe as the birth place of a cultural revolution. So that this

monument marks a major cultural change

e) Visit of the “exotic” collections to show that Europe is open onto the world (good and bad side of this

with the risk of pillaging) ; to show that Europe was at the heart of human science progress (invention

of History, Egyptology, ethnology … ) and show that Europe still plays an important role nowadays

f) For a visit of a thematic museum (for examples: the impressionists, Rembrandt museum …), during

the workshops, students could analyze and observe the impact of an artistic movement on the world

through the number of paintings and artists in museums not situated in Europe and through its

weight in the Art Market.

Please keep in mind that this document contains only thoughts and ideas that we

gathered in order to enhance discussion on the setting up of activities during the

meetings to come.
