Opération Sensibilisation à la Noyade

Drowning causes nearly 300,000 deaths worldwide every year. To help combat this issue, the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation organized a new awareness morning this Friday at the Grimaldi Forum, attended by HSH Princess Charlene and 316 first-grade students from Monaco.

In collaboration with the DENJS, the Monaco Town Hall, the Monégasque Red Cross, the Maritime and Airport Police Division, the Monaco Fire Brigade, and the Monaco Sea Academy, the Princess Charlene Foundation offered fun and educational workshops to teach young children how to prevent drowning risks.

On the program:

Understanding water hazards

Discovering rescue equipment

Learning basic lifesaving skills

Attending a reading of La Magie de l’Eau by its author, Mélinda Guery, a book designed to raise awareness about swimming and respect for the aquatic environment

Highly committed to the fight against drowning, HSH Princess Charlene accompanied the children throughout this enriching and educational morning.
