Description
The topic of the project is "Reducing the negative impact of human activities on water quality". The primary basic idea is to raise awareness of water pollution by micropollutants that originate mainly from households. Besides, pupils and teachers will be trained by actively participating in workshops and laboratory exercises led by experts from universities or professionals from the specific field. The topic of water pollution by pharmaceutical products and products of personal care is a relatively new one and will be included in the education of students and general public.
A series of short video programs with English subtitles and three popular-science articles sent to periodicals will form the basis of the public awareness campaign. Schools will have the opportunity to use workshop methodologies available on the internet. There will be 3 conferences with field trips and workshops available for teachers, students, and parents with children. The applicant will use a long-term cooperation with 42 schools from various regions of the Czech Republic to spread awareness among schools about the necessity to reduce amount of pollutants in the water system and innovation of technologies aiming to increase water protection.
