The meeting was given at 2 p.m. at the headquarters of the Kayak Club de Thionville. For the first time in its history, the association, which has around sixty members, had the idea of organizing a “paddle walk”. Either an aquatic version of the clean walk, a walk during which volunteers mobilize to collect waste from the streets of the city center.
“We already pick up, alas too often, rubbish during our outings”, testifies the president of the club, Cyril Feireisen, very happy to have succeeded in motivating around twenty young people from the club. Who came with friends or family members.

Awareness campaign
Léa, a member of the club for 6 years, was pleased “that we managed to set up an official event and organize it”. “It’s also good to raise awareness among the young people of the club on the issue of the environment. And by bringing back friends, they raise their awareness at the same time, ”says Maelis for her part. “There are so many things on the banks: cans, bags, balloons, even a supermarket trolley,” she laments again.
