Education

The Loiret Maison de la Loire is organising the school competition "Sauve qui pleut" to raise awareness among infant and primary school children of the flooding risk. Artworks can be sent in until 23 April.

Each class in the Département can submit an artwork (drawing, sculpture or painting for example) to do with the theme of water and protection from high water levels in the Loire. It does not cost anything to take part.

After the competition, the submitted artworks will be exhibited from 4 May to 1 June at the Loiret Maison de la Loire.

The winning classes will be rewarded with a nature outing organised by the Maison de la Loire.

Maisons de Loire and the flooding risk

Maisons de Loire play a key role in raising awareness, among youngsters living by the Loire, of the flooding risk. They particularly have two teaching aids at their disposal:

the flood-hit house “La Loire, ça déménage” which shows the vulnerability of recently built houses to flooding
the hydroloire model , which can be used to describe different flooding and planning scenarios.
