Blue Future: Sustainable Living with Water Literacy Blue Future: Gozo College Ninu Cremona Secondary School Awarded Erasmus+ Funding for Water Literacy Project
Gozo College Ninu Cremona Secondary School has recently secured Erasmus+ funding for an innovative new initiative titled “Blue Future: Sustainable Living with Water Literacy.”
This project aims to empower young people with the knowledge and skills needed to understand, protect, and use water resources responsibly.
Rooted in the European Union’s Sustainable Water Policy, the project supports EU-wide efforts to safeguard water resources through effective management and sustainable use. Key priorities of the policy include improving water quality, ensuring integrated and sustainable water-resource management, restoring ecosystems, increasing water-use efficiency, and addressing the impacts of climate change.
Aligned with these priorities are the objectives of the EU’s Ocean Mission, designed to support the Sustainable Development Goals. These objectives focus on safeguarding marine life, reducing pollution, promoting sustainable fishing practices, managing water and ocean resources more effectively, mitigating climate change, and raising public awareness about the essential role water and oceans play in sustaining life.
As globalization accelerates advancements in technology, industry, agriculture, and culture, environmental pressures have also intensified—particularly pollution. This growing challenge highlights the critical role educational institutions must play in advocating for environmental responsibility and providing students with the tools to take meaningful action.
The Blue Future project responds to this need by placing water literacy at its core. Bringing together participating schools from Spain, Croatia, and Turkey, its primary aim is to raise awareness among secondary school students about water pollution and the importance of sustainable water use. The project also seeks to inspire a deeper understanding of environmental issues and climate change among both students and teachers in participating schools, while also extending its reach to local communities.
Through student-centered workshops, observation activities, and hands-on learning experiences grounded in scientific methods, participants will explore real-world water issues and develop practical skills in environmental stewardship. These activities are designed not only to educate but also to engage students actively in problem-solving and inquiry-based learning.
By fostering environmentally conscious attitudes and equipping young people with essential knowledge, the Blue Future project aims to build a generation that values and protects one of our planet’s most critical resources—water.
This project is Co-Funded by the European Union.
