All connected by water
João da Madeira, Portugal
2nd FUNDING CALL
“All connected by water” (All CW) engages the entire educational community in active learning dynamics to highlight the interconnectedness of water systems, emphasizing that all rivers ultimately flow into the sea, linking various oceans.
The project encourages students to reflect on daily actions that impact water resources, promoting both awareness and proactive measures. Students become active citizens who influence local companies to adopt better practices by participating.
Key objectives include fostering a sense of responsibility for protecting aquatic ecosystems, improving ocean literacy, and involving students in water conservation efforts. The project aims to create an ocean-literate society where students act as agents of change and sustainability.
Activities span various educational levels and include storytelling, theatre demonstrations, data collection on water-related issues, awareness talks, dissemination of bad practice reports, and workshops on good practices. Students will investigate the impact of local businesses on water quality and work to propose solutions to reduce negative impacts.
The project will also involve hands-on experiences such as field trips to rivers and beaches to observe water quality and pollution. Students will use this information to raise awareness through exhibitions, videos, and community forums.
The initiative not only seeks to educate but also to mobilize the community towards sustainable water practices, making a significant impact on local water conservation efforts.
“All connected by water” is a call to action for the entire school community, demonstrating that through understanding and meaningful actions, we can all contribute to preserving our planet’s precious water resources.
