Water: A sea of resources
Water: A sea of resources
End date: Oct 1, 2016
PROJECT
FINISHED
Water is one of the most powerful resources on our planet. From the school partnership we expect to promote the understanding of issues related to water across Europe and include these issues within school curriculums. The students are the chief participants of the project and investigate various water-related aspects in their own location: natural environment and pollution, water as a primary source of life, weather /climatic conditions, use of rainwater as a way of storing water, sewage treatment, health and thermal water spas, renewable energy, transport mode, tourism, job opportunities, the products from the sea and from the fresh water, the significance of water in the economy, the impact of water on the history or geography, the tales and the legends around the water, water as an inspiration for poetry, art, music, drama or dance. The students will provide their European peers with significant information, create and keep constant contacts and exchange ideas/opinions. All schools will establish contacts with any regional businesses dealing with water. This cross-curricular project will develop transferable skills such as negotiation, foreign language as well as mother tongue communication and, most importantly, will develop the creative and entrepreneurial skills of students. We also aim to enhance our students' intercultural understanding and cooperation. We have chosen a flexible approach to the project so that each school can meet its local needs more effectively. Schools in each country will research their own specific topics in relation to water which can be shared among the partner schools, discussed and proposals developed to solve problems. Products will include using ICT to present ideas (PowerPoint, partnership website, video DVD and brochure).
