Objectives

Project has many objectives to achieve its main objective to have sustainable water resources.The main issues we dealt with are to find solutions/raise awareness for climate change,global warming/drought,increase in water waste,unconscious use of surface/ground water,pollution of water resources to a dangerous level. We joined our power.We took the first steps towards raising environmentally sound individuals.New effective methods/tools for a new approach in teaching/learning were developed.Students/teachers enhanced their ability to collect information about water.They increased their awareness of water resources;became water savers,developed creativity,designing logos,videos,a calendar,bulletin boards,posters,brochures,trips,STEM applications,pictures, presentations,celebrations of important days/weeks,educational materials related to environment,painting competition/exhibitions,a dictionary,a calendar,e-books,e-magazines,diaries.Partners got aware of water resources/different cultures.Questionnaires/results were evaluated.The project contributed to the experience/creativity,developed an understanding of different approaches,through the identification of common features relevant to their lives to promote European cooperation.

Background

Climate change/environmental pollution are on the agenda of all countries.Most of them take steps in this regard.Why did we focus on water?Water is life.It is the source of life. This resource is decreasing.Water directs people's activities and lifestyles like choosing a place of life,immigration. As those who want to live and keep alive, we feel the need to raise water awareness so that future generations still have water that they can drink. The reason why we apply for Erasmus + projects is that the issue is too global to be addressed only in our own countries and requires cooperation.The way to make this possible is to raise/educate individuals.Thanks to our project, individuals with these skills will be the outputs of our project.It is more effective to develop new teaching and learning methods by combining STEM education with environmental education.The project will meet the needs of the students to reach usable clean water in the future/know how to protect it,learn how other countries manage global warming, have an opportunity to exchange their experience in environmental issues, improve foreign language skills,learn about cultural differences/ know different lifestyles,develop creativity,be an active European citizen.
