From 16 to 20 November, 20 classes and 530 primary school pupils attended a discovery day about the Loire, giving them an insight into the history of the river and its residents through the example of Loire rivercraft. This initiative was designed with the Fédération des Maisons de Loire and Kit Et Colle for the 20th anniversary of the Loire Valley’s listing as a UNESCO World Heritage.
Mission Val de Loire, the Fédération des Maisons des Loire and Kit et colle designed an educational project involving a cardboard model of a traditional Loire boat: the chaland. The aim was to teach primary school pupils about the Loire and its heritage, through the example of Loire rivercraft (from yesterday and today).
In all, 20 classes and nearly 530 children enjoyed taking part in a discovery day about the Loire and its heritage.
The morning was given over to educational workshops, which gave the pupils the keys to understanding the link between the Loire and its residents, before a model of a Loire chaland was built and given to them, together with an educational booklet.
The afternoon unfolded down on the riverbanks, near the school, with a view to becoming better acquainted with the Loire Valley and its history.
