The general objective of the project was to promote, within the participating schools, cross-curricular collaboration in order to identify solutions for sustainable water management, by encouraging the scientific and artistic creativity of students in research, innovation and transmission of civic, ecological messages; O1: Increasing the level of information about water resources in Europe and European legislation regarding sustainable water management, for at least 50% of the students and teachers of the participating schools, during the period 01.10.2023 - 30.09.2025; O2: Development of practical skills to solve a real problem, for at least 25% of the students and teachers of the participating schools, between 01.10.2024 - 30.09.2025; O3: Increase by at least 25% the degree of involvement of students and teachers from participating schools in activities to promote good practices that involve sustainable water management and a positive, ecological attitude towards the environment, during 01.10.2023-30.09.2025; O4: Development of linguistic and digital skills with at least one level in the adequate transmission of information by at least 24 students and 4 teachers of each participating schools, in the period 01.10.2023-30.10.2025;
Given that the methodology, legislation and vision on sustainable water management differ from one country to another, we have identified the need to harmonise actions in this area. Excessive pollution, excessive use of water and implicitly the drastic decrease in viable water resources require unitary, coordinated measures at European level, towards the appropriate use of water resources. For all partner schools, the need for financial support for ecological activities, all activities to identify water resources in the local environment, and especially those aimed at sustainable water management, was noted. It is also necessary to act towards strongly strengthening, in students, through projects and applied extracurricular actions, respect for the environment, an attitude of valuing and conserving water. Another identified need was the need to develop a material and curricular base that clearly addresses the issue of sustainable water use. Also, all partner schools shared the need for institutional development, achieving school performance and validating it at European level. The development of linguistic and digital skills is an integral part of the continuing education process, a mandatory condition for personal development.
