▶Objectives
Our project “Water is life” aimed at raising awareness of schools, authorities at local and national level, CSO’s on environment protection and enhancing their role in using water in a sustainable way. The overall aim was to stimulate increased knowledge of students and teachers on the importance of water and how it can be used efficiently in school. The project emphasised the importance of including water education in schools curriculum. We recognized that learning the“why’s” and personally adopting the “how’s” of water conservation is greater when students are shown how water affects the daily lives at their schools and their community. By incorporating these interdisciplinary activities into an existing curriculum, we motivated teachers and students to look at their own, as well as their families’ water use patterns and will then be able to differentiate between patterns between using water and conserving water. İn addition, the project included activities that contributed to greening our environment by reducing schools water consumption and assessing how much they use every day and developing creative and innovative ideas which will contribute for more sustained use of water in the future.
▶Impact
In our project water problem was considered to be the priority problem. The main reason for this is that the water problem has been discussed at the top level and has been turned into a problem of the people at the lower level. Here is what we wanted to do here: We agreed with all the decisions taken regarding the water problem so far. We supported the solution proposals and we supported them. With the WATER CURRICULUM BOOKLET we prepared, we wanted to raise awareness of the new generations and their parents about the water problem. We wanted to make the problem of water sustainable. We were aware that this can only be achieved through the education and awareness of generations. Therefore, the issue of WATER wasbe included in the EDUCATIONAL CURRICULUM of all countries! The content and the outcome of our project were related to the school curriculum. As our subject is water problem, we presented innovative ideas and practices as well as existing applications in the solution of water problem. Especially in SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY, TECHNOLOGY and DESIGN, we recommended project-based innovative ideas and design applications to students. We encouraged them by organising INNOVATIVE IDEAS competitions to reduce water consumption and increased water consumption. The effect it creates on the minds and hearts of the students who read the text on the subject of water in the curriculum and make the activity will have a BUTTERFLY effect on their families, families, society, societies, countries, countries to the whole continent and the world. The above-mentioned solution proposals were spread to the public and the people will become aware of this issue. WATER WILL BE PROTECTED and WATER WILL INCREASE.
