Looking for ideas on how to teach the subject of water ? Water Explorer is a highly competitive and exciting online initiative for schools . Students can get involved in water conservation missions and challenges and can win prizes , workshops and a place at National and International Water Explorer Finals .
TEACHER QUOTE :
Water Explorer is a fantastic global programme that helps raise awareness of water conservation in schools . As a teacher all the resources are provided for you which makes the programme very easy to implement in the classroom and the Water Explorer team are always there to offer help and advice . My class have gained so much from participating in this programme aside from a deeper understanding of conservation issues : teamwork , leadership and the confidence to present their work to others are just some of the many benefits I have seen . I would highly recommend the Water Explorers programme for other schools ! Teacher , Co . Cork .
The programme is open to young people aged 8-15 in Ireland , the UK , Germany , France , Poland , Italy , Spain , South Africa , Turkey , Bermuda and Switzerland . Water Explorer will help children develop life skills such as presenting , critical thinking , project management and team working .
