Organised as part of the Interreg Greater Region “Rivers” project, the event offers an opportunity to learn more about the challenges facing our cross-border rivers, but above all to exchange ideas, share experiences and work together on practical solutions for their future. 

Discover our rivers and the challenges they face

Water does not recognise administrative borders. The rivers flowing through our region connect territories, natural environments and communities on both sides of the borders.

Throughout the evening, a series of presentations open to everyone will provide insights into water-related issues, sustainable water resource management and sustainability. Participants will also discover key facts and figures as well as the natural and cultural heritage of our cross-border rivers.

But this workshop is not just about providing information. Participation will be at the heart of the evening.

Exchange ideas, share experiences and develop solutions

Participatory workshops in small groups, brainstorming sessions, quizzes and other collaborative activities will give participants the opportunity to share their experiences and observations.

The aim is to identify together the main challenges facing our waterways and to develop ideas and possible actions to better protect and enhance them across borders.

A workshop open to everyone

No specific knowledge is required to take part. Residents, families and anyone simply curious to learn more about our rivers are very welcome.

Children are also welcome to accompany their parents. It is a great opportunity to discover together the rivers that shape our region and the landscapes around us.

The event is organised as part of the activities of the European Documentation Centre of Differdange, in partnership with the Chiers and Alzette Cross-Border Natural Territory (TNT), the Grand Longwy Agglomeration (AGL) and the Chiers River Partnership (PCC).
