Water belongs to everyone but who decides how it is managed? In connection with the exhibition Holding water, a little longer, Eau'Dyssée presents, as part of the Fête de la science, a collaborative workshop exploring how water governance works.

Presented as part of the Fête de la science, this collaborative workshop offers an introduction to the mechanisms that shape water governance in France. Water is a shared resource, yet its management relies on a complex network of institutions, responsibilities and planning tools that often remain little known. Through a collaborative board game, role cards and interactive scenarios, participants explore the fundamental principles of water governance, the roles of the different stakeholders and the planning frameworks that guide decision-making, including SAGE and SDAGE water management plans.

In connection with the exhibition Holding water, a little longer, the workshop provides insight into the political, institutional and territorial dimensions of water management. It invites participants to better understand how decisions are made and how they shape the future of this shared resource. This workshop is part of L’îlot-S cultural season.
