Erasmus + Project – 2020/2021 – 2021/2022

 Context:

“Water is life, without water life doesn’t exist” seems such a plain expression we sometimes turn to. However, there is a powerful message lurking in that sentence. Both the earth and the body are made up of water, so this scientific fact witnesses the relevance of water for life. Unfortunately, often we take this for granted. Each country in this project can boast a strong and unique bond with the element of water in the different accumulation of it we can happen to come upon such as sea, rivers, lakes or even streams. Five schools from five different European countries have found a common ground in their consistent and heartfelt environmental awareness. They can testify to a long tradition of initiatives and choices that try to benefit our earth, attempting to be mindful and taking care of the natural environment around us focusing increasing attention on water bodies. Keeping the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in view, this project has the undeniable value to spread and cultivate environmental awareness. In this ecological, “green” framework this project aims at pupils actively building their new knowledge and meanings through experiences, experiments, and real problem-solving activities. Students will play the true, leading role in all the learning initiatives and tasks with emphasis on increasing their self-confidence and motivation. Learning being a social activity pupil will carry out their activities and will live each outdoor or indoor experience being together, interacting with one another. Pupils will get the invaluable opportunity of sharing and negotiating all the subjects and issues they will come upon during their learning path. All the teachers commit themselves to undertake and to promote a large variety of new student-centred teaching methods and techniques, a hands-on approach and practical and interactive outdoor activities. Innovative technology having a significant impact on education, every school will promote and foster the use of digital devices so as to engage their students and to make tasks more challenging and funny.
