The Water Discovery Lab made its first journey outside the Netherlands, hosted by the Port Center of Le Havre. This interactive exhibition reinterpreted insights from the Rhine River to explore the past, present, and future of the Seine, focusing on governance, environmental challenges, and sustainable development. Through discussions led by Greta Delsalle, Camille Leroy, and Bénédicte Dufour, visitors examined the complexities of water governance, the vulnerabilities of port infrastructures on former marshlands, and adaptive strategies for the future. The program featured a playthrough of the Water Values serious game, engaging professionals and the public in real-world water management scenarios, alongside an interactive mapping exercise for younger visitors. A roundtable discussion with experts further contextualized the Seine’s evolving water cycle, addressing ecological concerns, infrastructure, and economic imperatives. By bringing together stakeholders and fostering dialogue, the Water Discovery Lab inspired new ways of thinking about water’s role in shaping port cities.
