Local Activities
Water is undoubtedly one of our most precious resources. It is essential for life and plays a crucial role in almost every aspect of our existence—from agriculture and industry to energy production and personal well-being. However, as the global population increases, so does the demand for clean and accessible water. This rising demand, combined with climate change and environmental degradation, has made water resource management more challenging. We must adopt sustainable water management practices to ensure a sustainable future for our planet. We need to learn moderation. Let’s respect water!
Why water management in schools?
Because school is a type of building where water plays an extremely important role and is used in various ways. Often, we—the temporary inhabitants of schools (students, teachers, and support staff)—overuse water, forgetting the enormous efforts made to bring it to us! That’s why education in water management is essential; it starts at school and prepares us for life!
a) Acquiring and developing knowledge about sustainable water management;
b) Developing practical skills in investigating, analyzing, and presenting school water sources;
c) Identifying innovative ideas for proper water use in schools.
The local activities were carried out from March to May 2025 as part of the Erasmus+ project Blue Europe. Sustainable water management in schools (2023-1-RO01-KA220-SCH-000152274).
This was made possible with access to material resources (graphic and cartographic supports, a camera, observation journal, bibliographic materials) and procedural tools (observation, bibliographic, monographic, historical, statistical methods, visits, graphic and cartographic modeling of data, and interviews).
During the project, we observed water sources within the Blue Schools, took photos reflecting their current state, and created diagrams showing water consumption patterns in our institutions.
We participated in various workshops where we analyzed water samples—pH, hardness, color, smell—and improvised basic devices for filtering polluted water.
Finally, we created presentations, films, and posters promoting sustainable water consumption in schools.
