"A la Claire Fontaine": Fountains flourish in schools of Marseille

Primary school children are invited to create their own school fountain. Kids from 8 schools, involved in the MARSECO network, labelled by the Grassroots & Citizenship Commission of the Forum, are involved in a 2-part project. It involves:  education on the cycle of water, the creation of a charter on water, and finally the design of a unique fountain for the whole school which comes with an educative exhibition on the health benefit of water in our daily life. Other themes such as water in the world, water and gardens or water and pets are also discussed in the classrooms. This programme, started in 2009, will continue in 2012 with all kids going to the Forum in March.
