Clean and accessible water is the precondition for life and almost all human activities. Water will most certainly be one of the most contested resources in the world. At the same time, we are witnessing a young generation that cares about our planet and takes to the streets to demand action against climate change. Water plays a major role in all our partner schools’ regions by some means or other: Either it is a plentiful resource in northern and central Europe where it sustains life in manifold still healthy aquatic ecosys-tems and can easily be used for various purposes. On the other hand, all partner schools’ areas face distinctively different problems concerning water quality and quantity: water shortage and contamination, dryland salinity, floods and flood control…
Therefore, this project will motivate participants not only to examine their own (often wasteful) use of water but also to discuss the differences and similarities in the regional water-related issues. Doing so, the students will learn how to handle water resources sustainably and responsibly.
