SaveH2O Combating water shortage as a result of climate change is at the very heart of our project.

SaveH2O wants to impact water scarcity by raising awareness on the topic to primary education pupils
ERASMUS + Project with partners from Greece - Bulgaria - Cyprus Climate change models project more frequent and intense summer droughts in the years to come, due to a joint effect of a rise in temperature and a drop in precipitation, particularly in the southern part of Europe. In many cases, climatic global warming will increase the frequency of drought occurrences, as well as those of floods, thus, aggravating the situation. Climate change is projected to reduce water resources in many islands, and a decline in rainfall combined with deforestation may lead to a reduction in surface run-off. Furthermore, islands like Cyprus also have small catchments that do not provide any perennial flow. Therefore, our project wants to impact water scarcity directly by raising awareness on the topic to primary education pupils by using STEAM (STEAM Education is an approach to learning that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics as access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking), where applicable. Target groups:
-Schoolteachers, trainers
-Pupils
Start date: 15 November 2023
End date: 14 November 2025

Η αντιμετώπιση της λειψυδρίας ως αποτέλεσμα της κλιματικής αλλαγής βρίσκεται στο επίκεντρο του έργου μας.

Τα μοντέλα κλιματικής αλλαγής προβλέπουν πιο συχνές και μεγαλύτερης διάρκειας καλοκαιρινές ξηρασίες τα επόμενα χρόνια, λόγω της κοινής επίδρασης της αύξησης της θερμοκρασίας και της μείωσης των βροχοπτώσεων, ιδιαίτερα στο νότιο τμήμα της Ευρώπης.

Σε πολλές περιπτώσεις, η αύξηση της μέσης θερμοκρασίας του πλανήτη θα οδηγήσει σε αύξηση της συχνότητας τόσο των περιστατικών ξηρασίας, όσο και των πλημμυρικών επεισοδίων, επιδεινώνοντας έτσι την κατάσταση.

Η αλλαγή του κλίματος θα επιφέρει μείωση των βροχοπτώσεων όπου σε συνδυασμό με αύξηση των πυρκαγιών και της αποψίλωσης των δασών, μπορεί να οδηγήσει σε σημαντική μείωση της επιφανειακής απορροής και άλλων συνιστωσών του υδρολογικού κύκλου. Επιπλέον, νησιά όπως η Κύπρος και η Λέσβος έχουν μικρές λεκάνες απορροής που εμφανίζουν διαλείπουσα ροή, κυρίως εφήμερου χαρακτήρα και είναι ευάλωτα σε οποιαδήποτε κλιματική μεταβολή.

Ως εκ τούτου, το έργο μας θέλει να αντιμετωπίσει αποτελεσματικά το πρόβλημα της λειψυδρίας μέσω της ευαισθηοτοποίησης των μαθητών της Πρωτοβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης σχετικά με το κρίσιμο αυτό περιβαλλοντικό θέμα χρησιμοποιώντας την προσέγγιση STEAM (Το Science-Technology- Engineering- Arts and Math είναι μια προσέγγιση στην εκπαιδευτική διαδικασία που χρησιμοποιεί την Επιστήμη, την Τεχνολογία, τη Μηχανική, τις Τέχνες και τα Μαθηματικά ως σημεία πρόσβασης για την καθοδήγηση της συμμετοχής των μαθητών, την ανάπτυξη διαλόγου και κριτικής σκέψης), όπου ισχύει.

Борбата с недостига на вода, породенa от изменението на климата, е в основата на нашия проект.

Математическите модели за изменение на климата прогнозират в бъдеще все по-чести и интензивни летни периоди на засушаване, поради фактори като повишаване на температурата и намаляване на валежите, характерни в южната част на Европа.

Глобалното затопляне ще увеличи честотата на настъпване на засушаване, както и на честотата на настъпване на наводнения, следователно, ситуацията ще се влоши.

С промените в климата се прогнозира и намаляване на водните ресурси на много острови, а намаляването на валежите в комбинация с горските пожари може да доведе до намаляване на повърхността.

Освен това, острови като Кипър разполагат само със малки водосборни басейни, което е предпоставка за непостоянен воден поток.

Нашият проект цели да повлияе пряко на проблема с недостига на вода, като повиши осведомеността по темата сред учениците в началното образование. Използва STEAM подход (STEAM е подход към обучението, при който се комбинират S– наука, T– технология, E– инженерство, А – изкуство и М – математиката, за да насочат вниманието на учениците към цялостно разбиране на дадени понятия и теории, както и как те са приложими в реалния живот. Насърчава се диалога и критично им мислене).

Sharing Good Practices under the Erasmus+ Project SaveH20
Working Meeting at “Elin Pelin” Primary School – Plovdiv.📍

On October 28, 2025, Elin Pelin Primary School in Plovdiv hosted a working meeting titled “Sharing Good Practices under the Erasmus+ Project SaveH2O. The event brought together many school principals, teachers, project coordinators, and guests committed to environmental education and sustainable development.

The meeting began with a welcome address by the school principal Tatyana Vangelova, who thanked all participants and highlighted the importance of international partnerships under the Erasmus+ program for improving the quality of education. Afterwards, participants briefly introduced themselves and shared their experience in implementing ecological initiatives.

The first part of the event presented the project, which focuses on developing environmental awareness and a responsible attitude toward water resources. Attendees learned about the project’s main goals and activities, as well as the partner schools from various European countries collaborating with Elin Pelin Primary School. This was followed by a presentation of the training modules developed for two age groups of students. Teachers demonstrated sample lessons and resources designed to encourage critical thinking and active participation in environmental protection activities. After a short coffee break, participants explored the educational game “From Desert to Rain Forest,” which introduces ecological and climate-related challenges in an engaging and interactive way.

The next session featured a presentation of the website with free didactic materials created as part of the project. The platform offers a wide variety of resources for teachers and students and provides opportunities for sharing experiences and collaboration between schools.

The meeting concluded with a summary and final discussion, during which participants shared their impressions, ideas, and recommendations for future activities related to environmental education.
