Description
The Water Cycle Fresco workshop offered by Cortex is an educational and interactive activity designed for cultural organisations and venues wishing to raise public awareness of the importance of the water cycle and its environmental challenges.
Through a playful and collaborative approach, participants, whether adults, teenagers or children, discover the different stages of the water cycle while becoming aware of the impacts of human activities and climate change on this essential resource.
Working together to build a visual fresco illustrating the complex mechanisms of the water cycle, participants are guided by expert facilitators. The workshop stimulates collective reflection and encourages everyone to adopt more environmentally responsible behaviours. Beyond being an educational activity, it is also an enriching experience that can be integrated into temporary exhibitions, educational programmes or thematic events.
