Water-The Source of Life
Start date: Aug 1, 2010,
One of the world biggest problems is connected with the access to clean water for drinking for people. There are millions of people on the earth planet without access to clean water for drinking and the ones that have this opportunity do not respect and do not know enough about water meaning. "Water - the source of Life" project will introduce the topic of safe and clean environment with a special aspect on one of the Millennium development goals - sustainable environment - clean drinking water, the water use, all in order to raise the awareness of the young generation about the meaning of water and the environment in general in our every day life. The water is the source of our life, but do we know to save and appreciate this? 40 Youngsters from Macedonia, FYR; Serbia; Romania, Bulgaria, Italy, France, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia will work together for 8 days in Dojran on the Youth Exchange "Water - the source of Life" discovering the usage of water, finding the meaning of water in our daily life and developing a sense for respect and appreciation of what nature has given to us through simulation exercises, teambuilding and role play exercises, through games and discussions. These youngsters will later work on developing practical exercises and brochure with the main topic -we need to save water - they will developed a tool for others to have the chance as well to learn about the water. The aeated water exercises and the brochure will be later published in a wider booklet and in future will be introduce to youngsters to learn about water. Furthermore youngsters coming from different social, religious, cultural background, coming from less developed areas and with fewer opportunities regarding travel and cooperation with others will have the chance to learn more about culture in general, differences and similarities among different ones, as well as have a chance to develop a link and cooperation for the future.
