The initiative brings together more than 40 local stakeholders\u2014including nonprofit organizations, local governments, schools, businesses, and institutions\u2014to carry out nearly 100 activities covering the entire region. Exhibitions, educational field trips to rivers, the ocean, or mangrove forests, discovery workshops, scientific lectures, and tours of drinking water treatment plants or wastewater treatment facilities: the program is organized around four pillars\u2014understanding, protecting, restoring, and promoting\u2014and is aimed at all generations, from schoolchildren to seniors.<\/p>\n

Among the highlights of the public program is the \u00abWomen and Water\u00bb Conference\u00bb<\/strong> on Tuesday, April 21, organized in partnership with the aArchip\u2019Elles Association<\/strong> and hosted by Myriam Mo\u00efse<\/strong>, a lecturer at the University of the Antilles, will explore the connections between Caribbean women and water resources through memory, cultural practices, and historical female figures associated with \u00abcare\u00bb\u2014such as washerwomen, midwives, and healers. The following day, a seminar dedicated to hydrodiplomacy and water governance will bring together students and researchers at the University of the Antilles.<\/p>\n
The cultural highlight of the week will be Aqua Live, on Saturday, April 25, starting at 4 p.m. at the Pierre Samot Community Aquatic Center in Le Lamentin.<\/strong> This concert on the water will bring together Ti Kr\u00e9ol, Suzie Tr\u00e9beau, Demwazel Dys, Jean-Luc Guanel, and Paille in an intergenerational atmosphere, preceded by a special edition of the Matinik Quizz hosted by Lionel Nidaud and Sabine Andrivon-Milton. The event is open to everyone.<\/p>\n
On this occasion, the ODE highlights the global context: 2.2 billion people worldwide still lack access to safe drinking water, and governments will need to significantly accelerate their efforts to achieve the\u2019United Nations SDG 6: Universal access to water and sanitation<\/strong>, by 2030.<\/p>\n
In Martinique, climate change is already taking a toll on natural resources, making citizen engagement all the more necessary.<\/strong><\/h3>\n
