Training
Depuis 2022, la CLEIC a mis en œuvre et pris part à de nombreuses initiatives de vulgarisation et de mobilisation des connaissances visant à faire découvrir au grand public et aux étudiants le secteur des insectes comestibles. Ces activités ont notamment pris la forme de présentations interactives dans les établissements scolaires, de kiosques d’information lors d’événements destinés au grand public ainsi que de diverses actions de sensibilisation visant à mieux faire connaître les avantages et le potentiel des entomotechnologies auprès de la population.
“Notre organisation fait partie de la liste des organismes de culture scientifique du programme La culture à l’école. Sous certaines conditions, nos activités offertes à la clientèle scolaire peuvent faire l’objet d’une demande d’aide financière dans le cadre du Volet scientifique du programme La culture à l’école”
The Chair offers courses addressed to professionals in the field of entotechnologies for the development of continuing education.
Introduction to the production of edible insects
This course, given periodically at GÉGEP Lévis-Lauzon, offers an overview of all the components (circular economy, food inputs, production of two species of edible insects (black soldier flies and mealworm), primary and secondary processing, market development).
In partnership with MAPAQ's technological showcase/Tricycle
Autumn 2021: 16th et 23rd of November
Winter 2022: 21st et 28th of February
The Chair is proud to contribute to the discovery and teaching of the field of entotechnology among our young people. This is why we have partnered with the Institute on Nutrition and Functional Foods (INAF) to offer a teaching course in the summer camps to the young next generation.
Presentation: Upcycling of agro-food residues by the production of black soldier flies
