National Association of Compagnons Bâtisseurs: a one-day training session to take action against flood risk

The training day dedicated to the Compagnons Bâtisseurs was part of a broader capacity-building approach aimed at strengthening the skills of their teams involved in housing improvement, particularly for low-income households and existing housing stock.

Participants were looking for a practical training session, directly applicable to their day-to-day professional activities, in order to better respond to residents’ questions. To meet these expectations, several tools and approaches were mobilised during the training:

  • identification of the human, technical and territorial issues associated with flooding,
  • presentation of the various flood prevention stakeholders and existing schemes,
  • description of adaptation works,
  • practical case studies and hands-on exercises to bridge the gap between theory and action.

The objective of this training was to equip the Compagnons Bâtisseurs, as field-based practitioners, with the means to take action, inform residents and support them in identifying realistic solutions adapted to their constraints and everyday uses.
