FreeBird Project is a project set up by the FreeBird Society (non-profit society type 1901) and its main objective is the reduction of the daily water uses . The education of children and the information of the people should increase the public awareness of the problems related to the daily water management in France and around the world.

The project is an eco-citizen and educational project . In order to educate the people to the difficulties related to the water in the world and to learn techniques to manage these difficulties, an expedition through thirty countries is organized.
This expedition will be shared with children on the five continents. We stay in contact with them throughout the expedition through the website and ponctual interventions in the schools partners of the project.
In order for the children to gain the greatest benefit of this project, we will also report about the different cultures and wonders of our planet, whether natural or menkinds, from the seven new wonders of the world to the primary rain forest; on historical trails and roads of the UNESCO world heritage. This project should increase their openness and their awareness of the world forever.

Nowadays, it is essential that each of us become aware of the global challenge posed by the water and to educate the future generations as soon as possible.
