Short project description:
“Think about Water” project will introduce the topic of safe and clean environment with a special aspect on the water use, in order to raise the awareness of the young generation about the meaning of water and the environment in general in our every day life. Nothing in the world can’t exist without water, but do we know this? 28 Youngsters from Macedonia; Serbia; Romania and Bulgaria will work together for 9 days in Strumica on the Youth Exchange "Think about water” discovering the usage of water and developing a sense for respect and appreciation of what nature has given to us through simulation exercises and role play exercises, through games and discussions. These youngsters will later work on developing games and exercises connected to water in order to produce a tool for others to have the chance as well to learn about the water. The created water games will be later published in a booklet and in future will be introduce to youngsters to play. Furthermore the youngsters will have the chance to learn more about culture in general, differences and similarities among different ones, as well as have a chance to develop a link and cooperation for the future.
Project Objectives are:
To raise awareness about the meaning of environment and to promote protection of the environment we are sharing by giving a chance to 28 youngsters to take part in a project working on the theme water;
To broaden participants knowledge about the meaning of the water as a fundamental part of the environment we are living in;
To motivate participants creativity to invent games connected with water with aiming to raise awareness of the water to a wider audience;
To promote Cultural diversity in Europe by giving an opportunity to 28 youngsters to experience other cultures while working for a common goal and to increase tolerance as well as to strengthen inter-cultural dialogue;
To include the young people from multicultural, multiethnic and multipath backgrounds: young people that are minority members and/or have the less chances to meet the culture of the other European countries;
Youngsters participating in this project will work together on discovering the meaning of water in our everyday life, the protection of it and the protection of the environment in general and at the same time discovering differences and similarities among themselves by themselves. Through the implementing of non-formal education in forms of simulation games, role play exercises, ice-breakers, discussion, creativity we will reach out to the youngsters and making them think twice before spending water without meaning. We will raise their awareness about the position of the water in today society, the pollution that the men kind have made, the lack of water in some parts of the world and in this way youngsters will learn to appreciate the fact of having clean water to drink.
Later they will be asked to produce a tool that the younger generation can use it in order to learn about water – this tool will be new and invented games connected to water and water saving. On the last day youngsters will have the chance to make open water day and invite high school students to play the games with them and in this way to apply the gained knowledge.
Partners Involvement:
Preparations phase: The group of young people chosen to join the project should be very motivated and prepare in advance for the exchange. Since the idea is water, it will be good that your group get to know each other before coming here and to prepare some things that later will be used during the exchange itself. Each of the groups before coming to the exchange should prepare the following:
Make a research of the water cycle in your countries;
Make a map of the water in your countries, do you have some river that goes through your countries and other countries as well, do you as country share water? Make this map in a hard copy so everyone can see it – be creative!!!
Make a research for what is the water used back in your own communities and make a power point presentation about this.
Try to bring with you pictures from magazines, pictures from newsletters or photos that you have made from the water in your country, bring this pictures with you – we will need it for a workshop!! (at least 15 pictures).
Prepare a presentation of your country – during the exchange we will have national evenings – here you will present your country – bring food, snacks, drinks, sweet things – bring your flag and your music – you will be the hosts of this evenings.
Realization phase: Will unite energizing and ice-breaking activities, active participation, open space and discussions about future projects.
This phase will be organized by the hosts of the event – we will have a team of a team builder, animator for workshops, manager.
Final Product of the project:
The last day the participants will organize an open water day for the local youngsters. The local high school students those motivate will come and take part of the games day. The participants will introduce the games they have invented and they will play together. In this way the local community will be involved in our project as well.
