Following the success of the 2023, 2024 and 2025 editions, the ECLA-TOI PIM ECLA-TOI once again brought together 20 students from 5 to 9 January 2026 at UBO Open Factory<\/a>. This year, the programme focused on the Floating Villages<\/a> project, led by the association Les Merriens and the micro-enterprise Flots, with support from the collective Les Vagues.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Floating Villages initiative promotes research and experimentation spaces dedicated to a merrien<\/em> way of life, in harmony with the ocean. Its ambition is to develop practical and accessible solutions for coastal areas facing the challenges of climate change by combining adaptation, mitigation and innovation. The project aims to generate a triple impact: human, ecological and technological.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divided into four groups, the students designed proposals intended to strengthen both the attractiveness of the project and public engagement with it. Their ideas included weekly low-tech cooking workshops to involve local residents, a board game highlighting the economic, ecological and social impacts of floating villages, an interactive model enabling fishers to co-design their future living spaces (\u201cThe House of Vision\u201d), and a Little Book of Merrien Everyday Actions<\/em> designed to raise awareness of the merrien<\/em> lifestyle through environmentally friendly daily practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the week, participants strengthened their skills in creativity, critical thinking, emotional intelligence and oral communication, while also experimenting with co-construction approaches and social innovation methods. This PIM enabled them to explore concrete forms of engagement and imagine more resilient and inclusive coastal territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
