Description
The project will focus on rainwater harvesting, recycling and reuse. It will involve children, parents, local communities and general public. The objective of the project is to increase public environmental awareness on adaptation to climate change issues. Through the project implementation, increased volume of reused rainwater will be achieved and as well as increased knowledge of children about climate change adaptation measures. The curricula focused on the management of rainwater and climatic changes will be modified for the school education programme. Educational activities focused on environment will be organised. Children, students and civil services are expected to benefit from the project implementation.
Summary of project results
The main objective of the project was to raise public awareness on climate change adaptation possibilities, which was primarily achieved by developing the curriculum, creating the project website and implementing several demonstrative adaptation measures in the school premises. Due to the low maintenance cost, the outcomes of the aforementioned activities will be sustainable for at least 5 years upon the project’s completion. The following outputs of the main project activities were planned and realized: a curriculum focused on rainwater harvesting was developed for educational process, as well as a project website was created in order to provide public with all the relevant information regarding the project. The realization of the project activities contributed to a significant awareness raise of both primary school students and public on climate change adaptation and local floods and droughts prevention. This was achieved by the demonstration of the implemented adaptation measures and employing the newly created study materials.
