Through lectures, exhibitions, cycle tours and project and theme weeks for schoolchildren, the project addresses flood protection, climate change and regional history. An exhibition will take place from 31 May to 14 June inclusive at the village community centre “de Spieker” in Spijk. The “Floods” exhibition is also part of the “Hochwasser verbindet: unsere Region, unsere Zukunft” project and has previously been on display in Pannerden, Zevenaar, Tuindorp, Herwen and Emmerich.
The aim is to bring people from Germany and the Netherlands together and, in particular, to raise awareness among young people of future challenges in the fields of water and climate. The project is supported by various German and Dutch partner organisations from the fields of history, education and water management.
