Mots-clés :
Lieu, enfants et lieu, identité, appartenance, attachement des enfants au lieu , bien-être , sentiment d’appartenance à un lieuRésumé
Cette contribution explore comment le fait d’écrire et de partager des récits de lieux d’enfance dans le cadre d’un cours peut contribuer à repenser la planification de l’enseignement comme une démarche de création de lieux. La première partie présente un récit de lieu d’enfance que Janine Tine a écrit alors qu’elle était étudiante aux cycles supérieurs. La deuxième partie met en lumière des idées clés sur le lieu ainsi que sur les enfants et le lieu, en examinant des exemples dans le récit de Janine. Les étés qu’elle a passés sur la propriété de ses grands-parents révèlent des éléments clés de l’attachement des enfants à un lieu, ainsi que le rôle des grands-parents dans la construction sociale du lieu.
