Flood Stopping

Every year, more and more Europeans are experiencing the impact of extreme flooding, especially in areas where floods are a rare occurrence. While plenty of resources are available about droughts, discussion on what to do when floods occur seems lacking. It is crucial to have the proper tools and knowledge to adapt to and protect against extreme rainfall and flooding. Join us at the Flood Stopping project as we explore the effects of the ever-changing climate and floods. --- Special thanks to our partners: Area Europa - Development Consulting, The Right Street, Infinitivity Design Labs, Spostamenti, Univerza v Mariboru, lowcarboneconomy, Perifereiako Lykeio Livadion, and Σχολή "StJoseph" Πεύκης

It is never easy to say good-bye.  Especially, when you have worked closely with such a diligent and inspiring collective like this one over two years. We have created amazing project results, each challenging how we communicate about climate change and enriching the knowledge about floods and adaptation tools. But most of all, we have collectively managed to bring together an audience across many different countries and generations and forge a great network of Flood Stoppers. Instead, we would like to say thank you. Thank you to our partners, Area Europa - Development Consulting, The Right Street Digital, SpostaMenti Associazione, Univerza v Mariboru, lowcarboneconomy, Infinitivity Design Labs, Saint Joseph Greek-French High School, and Livadia Regional Lyceum for your commitment and all the work you put into this project. Thank you to all the students that have participated in our final Brussels event and showcased your fantastic presentations and tools you’ve prepared. And thank you to all that have followed our two-year-long journey. We wish you the happiest of holidays and hope that you will continue to follow and use our project results in the years to come. Happy Holidays! Your Flood Stopping #floodstopping #erasmusplus #happynewyear #happyholidays #farewell #euproject #floodawareness

The final day of the Brussels event was bittersweet. In the morning, while the students went sightseeing, the partners gathered for the final partner meeting. Around noon, both the partners and students assembled to talk about the impact of the Flood Stopping project and what they had learnt through the two years of the project. And while more needs to be done to raise awareness over adaptation and flood impacts, we are glad to have made the first step to do so. #floodstopping #climatechange #BrusselsEvent #education #partnership #climateaction #EUClimatePact #floodriskmanagement #climatechangeadaptation #EUproject

The afternoon of the second day continued with more fantastic examples of flood adaptation tools and techniques. The students from Saint Joseph Greek-French High School had: 💧 prepared an emotional and intriguing podcast episode about the interviewee’s experience with floods.  💧 made comprehensive posters about climate change causes and what to do before, during, and after floods.  💧 created an educational video about what NOT to do before an incoming flood. 💧 prepared a useful flood emergency toolkit. 💧 showcased why community engagement is crucial when adopting flood management tools and techniques.  💧 performed a play that emphasised how floods can progress and subside. #floodstopping #climatechange #BrusselsEvent #education #partnership #climateaction #EUClimatePact #lyvadialyceum #floodriskmanagement #studentpresentation #floodprevention #floodtools

On the second day of our meet, we got to listen to and see the amazing presentations that the students learnt about flood risk management using various tools. First up were the students from Livadia Regional Lyceum who presented: 💧 a detailed analysis of what could have been done better during the Paphos floods, based on research and an engaging, first-hand experience interview.  💧 how simple plants like reeds can be used as a nature-based solution for flood prevention.  💧 how they made a detailed poster about what to do in case of flooding. 💧 mapping of potential flooding issues around their school and their adaptation plan. 💧 an analysis of rainfall increases in Larnaca and how to protect one’s home. #floodstopping #climatechange #BrusselsEvent #education #partnership #climateaction #EUClimatePact #lyvadialyceum #floodriskmanagement #studentpresentation #floodprevention #floodtools

🌊🎓 What an enlightening day of learning! The Flood Stopping Multiplier Event on December 16th, hosted by our partner Univerza v Mariboru, was a huge success.
