"Water is the element which unites us all,
beyond politics or religion"
states Fernand Rainville, the producer of the exposition "Aqua".
Le Soleil, Yan Doublet
No doubt, you remember that Guy Laliberté, founder of the du Cirque du Soleil, went into space. Do you recall why? It was to focus attention on his foundation “One Drop”, which aims to raise people’s awareness of the importance of saving and sharing water. The foundation has now established an educational initiative with "Aqua": 'A Journey into the World of Water', which is taking place at the Musée de la Civilisation in Quebec city(MCQ) until April.
On this occasion, "Aqua" enriches us with a new activity, “Water in our daily lives”, an educational workshop created by Suzanne Hardy du MCQ, which allows for those from 7 to 77 years old to learn many interesting facts on the role of water in the production of consumer goods (1000 litres to make a pair of children’s jeans, 200 litres to produce a banana, 15 litres to flush a toilet...). The workshop will be available for school groups and on weekends.
