"« WATER, THE OTHER AND ME » is a project carried out by pupils from three European high schools (Spanish, Portuguese and French) and by young French disabled students who want to put at the heart of questionings the issue related to the management of water. We know that water resources, the use we make of it on a daily basis and its management in the medium and short term is a central issue in our societies and more widely in the ""world’s village"".The management policies of this vital and fragile resource involve technical and scientific decisions as well as socio-cultural and philosophical ones. The feature of this plan approach is that it grants a central part to the artistic approach and to the circus arts.Circus becomes a helpful lever for a common questioning setting for all pupils and with all pupils whatever their bodies, their specificities, their difficulties are and where they come from. Circus allows the emancipation of every individual through group life. Circus is an instrument of social inclusion. In addition to the values of rigour, self-control, circus also stands for team spirit, self-esteem and respect towards others. All these values are necessary for a real questioning about what we want to do with this good indispensable to the survival of our humanity: water."
