Raising public and school awareness of rivers and their ecosystems
Toutes les initiativesUsing an atypical educational tool, a Freycinet barge, the Péniches du Val de Rhône association promotes awareness of water, rivers and their environment, by organizing stays (Water School) and day trips for schoolchildren and adults.
The barge can accommodate 50 students, with immersive stays ranging from 1 day to 5 days (2 classes staying on the barge). The challenges of the river and its biodiversity are addressed, with a specially trained team of animators, and activities during stopovers.
The diversity of approaches (scientific, artistic, cultural, playful…) is assured, which also enables the association to develop interdisciplinary projects.
