From Children Workshops to a National Interactive Web Portal.

The advisory councils in architecture, town planning and environment (CAUE - Conseil d’Architecture, d’Urbanisme et de l’Environnement) were created in France by a 1977 act. Today, they are 91 of them all over the country. The common mission of these public status institutions is to promote quality. Young people education is one of their aims.

The «Fédération Nationale des CAUE» gathers the different CAUEs and organizes national meetings on a regular basis to be more efficient. The goal of one of the working groups, « pedagogical practices for young people», is to collect the different experiences performed by architects from the different CAUEs in France and to promote them. A second step led to a publication realized by the CAUEs with teachers and researchers in education («50 activities to understand architecture and town planning with the CAUEs», Ed SCEREN, 2007). Finally, from hundreds of experiences, 50 activities, easy to use everywhere, were finally
