“Wat leeft?” continues its tour across the country! Following our events in May and June, we were also present at various events in the months that followed. Together with our partners, we used these opportunities to engage with visitors, answer their questions and raise their awareness of the issues surrounding water, wastewater and the protection of our water bodies in a way that was easy to understand.
One question remains at the heart of the campaign: What belongs in the sewer system, and what should never be flushed down the drain?
Nature Park Festival at Parc Housen
On 2 August, SIDEN had a stand at the Nature Park Festival in Parc Housen.
In a pleasant and convivial atmosphere, with a wide range of workshops, activities and entertainment for young and old alike, visitors were able to find out more and speak directly with the experts.
Our awareness-raising campaign also played a key role in this context.
Environmental Fair in Ettelbrück
On 12 September, SIDEN had an information stand at the Däichhal in Ettelbrück.
As part of the NORDSTAD Environment Days, the first environmental fair was held in Ettelbrück. Visitors were able to find out how each and every one of us can help to conserve resources and protect our environment and nature in a sustainable way in our everyday lives.
At the stand, visitors were given an insight into the association’s work, as well as interesting facts about wastewater treatment and the protection of our waterways. Our ‘Wat leeft?’ campaign was also present, explaining in a clear and relatable way what should and should not be flushed down the toilet.
Orientation Day
“Wat leeft?” was also represented at the orentation day on 19 September.
The Nature and Environment Agency and the Ministry for the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity had set up information stands at the venue to answer questions and raise visitors’ awareness of various environmental issues.
Our ‘Wat leeft?’ campaign was also presented at the Ministry’s stand. This was an excellent opportunity to raise public awareness of the fact that even small everyday actions can make a difference.
Environment Day – ‘Our Water of Tomorrow’
Held under the slogan ‘Our water of tomorrow – Together for a better future!’, the Environment Day in Erpeldange-sur-Sûre focused entirely on this precious resource: water.
In collaboration with SIDEN and the municipality of Erpeldange-sur-Sûre, we had numerous interesting conversations with visitors, including many children.
It is particularly important to raise young people’s awareness of issues relating to water, wastewater and environmental protection. This enabled them to learn what happens to our wastewater, how the water cycle works and why it is so important to protect our water bodies.
The numerous questions and the interest shown have once again demonstrated just how important direct dialogue is.
