Du 25 au 30 juin la ville du Lignano Sabbiadoro, localité côtière du nord-est de l’Italie, a accueilli notre groupe européen des jeunes pour l’eau bien commun arrivants de France, de Moldavie et du pays hôte. Cette rencontre fut la sixième et dernière école d’été dans le cadre du projet Erasmus+ « Eau Bien Commun-Domaine d’expertise des jeunes ». Organisée par le CeVI, elle a réuni plus de 30 personnes de notre collectif venus pour explorer les politiques de l’eau italienne et tester une approche comparative entre les politiques de l’eau italiennes, moldaves et françaises. Hébergé dans les bungalows du Camping Sabbiadoro tout prêt de la mer, nous avons pu bénéficier ici d’un mélange parfait entre activités pédagogiques, loisirs et intégration culturelle.
Réunissant une cinquantaine de citoyens, le film Vague Citoyenne, continue son tour de France. Après la Haute Savoie, l’Ile de France, la Drome, les Bouches du Rhône, les Pyrénées orientales (…) ; il est revenu dans le Rhône pour notre plus grand bonheur !
Nous avons été plus de trente jeunes rassemblés dans la ville de Lyon afin d’aborder les problématiques liées aux politiques de l’eau et à l’implication du citoyen dans ces politiques.
