"This project’s priority is to support individuals in acquiring and developing basic skills, key competences inside and outside of school that promote a sense of international citizenship and global responsibility, while also fostering a more authentic and engaging approach to language learning. The main topic for this project deals with the critical question: How is water important and how will it continue to shape the lives of people in the future? This project is a call to action to ignite change and facilitate a deeper understanding of the fragility of the world’s natural resources that will empower students to make well-rounded, informed decisions in their future and the future of the planet. This journey begins by encouraging students to investigate the aforementioned question through a variety of content areas, cross-cutting concepts to create a deeper understanding of the age-old adage: Water is life.The role water has played in the development of mankind is complex and its use continues to be a topic of contention in the modern world; it is an essential life component and access to this resource should be a fundamental human right. Within current topics about the environment, such as climate change and people´s responsibility for conservative water use. Within current topics about the environment, such as climate change and people’s responsibility for conservative water usage, there is also the opportunity for students to explore important themes of water in art, literature, the humanities, to create a holistic vision of the value of water to the human race. Subjects that will be used to explore the nuances of the role of water in human life include skills in: environ. studies; ICT; physical +cultural geography; agriculture; biology; chemistry; language, literature; philosophy; history, the arts. The project seeks to provide an interesting, engaging, and relatable dialogue for students to connect to while exploring the overarching question, having participants reflect on the significance and personal value of water in their future lives and community and then applying these sentiments and experiences to the world in broader context. Students from different partner institutions will share their experience with global problems related to lack of water or threats to water integrity and state attitudes.Collaborating with partners and their educational institutions that hold different perspectives and legislations about water use will provide the students with an interesting lens to analyze and reflect on their country’s attitude and use of water resources. This project will cultivate respect and understanding for other people and their environments, as well as scaffold an attitude of shared responsibility and duty to protect the EU and the world’s natural wonders and resources. The project as the whole should attract students´ attention to be struck by this alarming situation and lead them to take the responsibility for their future.The goal of this project is to challenge students to create solutions for current issues related to water conservation and environmental responsibility of educational institutions. Using both the participants’ own personal connection to the environment (water) and school-based curriculum (technical subjects, humanities) this project seeks to inform students about water-related environmental issues, like the effects of climate change and the responsible use of natural resources, to create an action plan that protects the planet’s under-appreciated natural wealth. The project work will have 3 phases running during the exchanges (workshops, visits, field and team work) or before them within the school subjects or via internet communication. Phase 1: They will investigate the intricate water systems in the world; analyse data about water use and consumption; debate issues related to water rights and ownership; discuss the role of responsibility in protecting and conserving this vital and valuable resource (water cycle, sources, ecosystem, use, environment, modification, legislation); they will create multimedia presentations.Phase 2: It builds complex, technical concepts off of Phase1 (essays, posters, photos, legends, songs, definitions, quotations).Students explore water as a historical and cultural landscape represented in artistic mediums that portray the importance of water in daily life. Students will investigate and create document: What does water mean to you? Final 3 Phase:Challenges students to combine the scientific data with artistic outputs to create a booklet.Teachers will strive to facilitate international and intercultural cooperation to strengthen awareness of EU and international citizenship surrounding the imperative need for society to take responsibility for the climate and future life on our planet. The importance of this project resides into the awareness "" No water - no life""."
