On Friday 23 May 2008 at the Maison de Loire en Anjou in Saint Mathurin-sur-Loire. This symposium forms part of the 1st biennial of the Great Rivers of the World, focusing on the river Niger, from 6 May to 31 August 2008.

Before its management by public authorities, the life of a river is largely conditioned by the people in the countries it crosses; in other words, civil society. The use we make of a river and the view we hold of it have varied depending on area and era. The symposium aims to shed light on this approach using exchanges between experiences of life on the banks of the Niger and life on the banks of the Loire.
