The main objectives of the project were to • increase the awareness of 60 students from partner schools about the role of water in everyday life and for society and the need to reduce its waste, • increase by 50% the frequency of STEAM classes during the year, presenting a positive attitude towards water protection in various subjects and outside school (outdoor activities) in all partner schools, • Increase the knowledge of 60 pupils from partner schools about some of the regulations governing water management (quality standards, rules for its application) and about water resources in Europe • Develop a water and environment-friendly approach through classroom and outdoor activities among 65 pupils from partner schools. The non-measurable objectives of the project included: • promotion of a new responsible attitude and behaviour of all project participants in the field of environmental and water protection • increasing the importance of partner schools in their local environment, • providing new knowledge on environmental issues related to water • development of teacher pedagogy in the field of STEAM subjects • increase in students' creativity in the field of STEAM topics, with particular emphasis on music.
All partner schools observed low levels of knowledge about water related issues among their students. The research carried out before applying for the project showed their little knowledge among about water sources and resources and little awareness of the need to save water or what happens with it before and after it is utilised by humans. Being concerned about such attitudes among the students, partner school's management decided to take action and start an international cooperation in order to educate their students about the importance of water in human life and in nature and in this way increase their awareness within that topic. They agreed on using STEAM during project implementation and after it in order to develop positive attitudes towards the water and environmental protection during the lessons of various school subjects and in outdoor activities. Thus they intended to promote a responsible attitude and behaviour about preservation and conservation of water. They also sought for improvement of their educational offers and their students' achievements as well as for solutions to their problems eg. lower students' interest and achievement in STEAM subjects, increase involvement of lower opportuninties students.
