Project Summary

H2O project has got a new approach to both environmental education and intercultural learning whilst fostering cooperation amongst Spanish, Slovakian and Icelander youth. The main goals are to explore various possibilities of water engineering and give students the opportunity to cooperate internationally on solving environmental issues. The basic and fundamental reason why four European countries- partners want to carry out the H2O project is a better opportunity for international perspective of increased cooperation in the field of ecology of water.While achieving these four aims during the project we will learn through new methods of international cooperation within European Union. Besides the mobilities among the project has the programs connected with purification, water acquisition, thermal waters and hydroelectric power stations. The project uses various innovative online tools to spread the project’s works and outcomes. It’s a huge adventure for students and their teachers in which they’ll develop their general knowledge about the ecology and improve their communication language skills. The project also teaches how to gain basic ecological habits which should be learned by children from the very beginning. The scientific approach to the topic makes the project more interesting and gives the participants the real possibility in touching the problem in adults life. We have to encourage them for the future protection of the environment so that they can one day make a difference for the better. Each school chooses from their students only 7 pupils who will be the ambassadors of their nation in solving the project’s main problem. Their further actions will continue in spreading to local communities what was learned about water industry during the project’s research. The youth is taught that to live ecologically is possible and it’s not so demanding.
Each participating school involved as many members of its teaching staff as possible, encouraging a mixed participation of both experienced and newly-qualified colleagues. This allowed a fruitful exchange of innovative and time-tested methodologies as well as a multi-disciplinary approach to everyone’s teaching. Final products include innovative, transversal and interdisciplinary CLIL materials, lesson plans, didactic units, which we hope will be shared and used in various teaching environments.
All actors in the project are made aware of the European dimension and far-reaching advantages of an Erasmus+ experience on individuals, schools and the community as a whole. All partners , from the outset, for the duration of the project and beyond, have the responsibility of informing the community of Erasmus+ actions and activities. Diseminaion activities continue up to now.
