Raising young people's awareness of flooding risks

An event over two half-days, already tested last year, will therefore be put on for Year 6 or mixed classes close to the Loire or its main tributaries. This event is free of charge for classes thanks to funding from the Centre-Loire Valley Region, the Etablissement public Loire and the French State (Plan Loire funds). 

The event can be adapted to the local context (school situated in a floodplain, developments of the Valley, etc.) and comprises both a theoretical part and a practical part. 

Two templates have been prepared especially for this module to be shown during the event: 

• the "hydroLoire" template accurately shows how rising water levels lead to flooding and their impact on the natural and urban landscape
• the "flooded house" template highlights the notion of damage and resident and habitat vulnerability

Any teachers wishing to sign their class up for this event can get in touch with one of the Federation's 5 structures.
