Ensuring pedagogical continuity in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic has generated a tremendous impetus from the educational community to design teaching methods that adapt to the disappearance of the classroom system and the multiple interactions and support it implies.

The educational community will take stock of this crisis later on, as a forerunner of those to come, insofar as it enables us to think of the digital school in terms of the real world and the materiality of interactions, resources and learning supports.

What's more, the pandemic crisis means that parents play an increasingly important role in their children's school careers, with a strong risk of widening inequalities.

Savanturiers aims to help educators and parents by taking into account the psychological dimensions of confinement, the variability of parents' availability and skills, and the unknowns of families' domestic organizations.

We have selected from among our resources created for schools and extracurricular activities a range of activities and teaching sheets that can be used independently at home with children and teenagers. In this exceptional situation, it will be possible to continue practicing the methodological approach to research in a fun and accessible way.

We also keep a watch on COVID-19, providing teachers, educational managers and families with rigorous, scientific information.

As long as the pandemic crisis affects our education system, we'll be publishing a FlashInfo every Monday to accompany your week in a frugal educational context.

In this first issue, you'll find activities to do with children, as well as resources on COVID-19 and a Savanturiers project carried out in a classroom. Happy reading!
