Through various activities, water awareness was increased in local, national and international communities. Relations and cooperation between the schools' non-governmental organizations and stakeholders developed. The students gained knowledge, experience and skills as they could plan new collaborations and partnerships to understand the negative effects of climate change and rapid population growth. They got to know the operation of the Water Treatment Plants, which concretized the importance of water and the research work. In schools, sustainable follow-up surveys were conducted in order to achieve water use and consumption habits from, among other things, experts and places to visit. Inspired and encouraged others by influencing their environment by doing experiments and discussing the results with a peer group. Students researched and studied innovative, creative, entrepreneurial, problem-solving and critical skills with which they tried to demonstrate everyday problems and possible solutions. Working methods maintained interest in researching things. Working together developed the participants' foreign language communication skills, enabled them to get to know different cultures closely, and increased their conscious civic attitude. The participants gained experience in learning, teaching and training at the European level. The teachers received information and experiences on how to promote the project's results and materials in their own schools.platforms. Concrete results: Water Literacy Toolkit for teachers, students and adults Project website Promotional products Interactive posters, brochures The Future of Water Platform Interactive story, infographic study.The outputs of the project were also the social media pages published by the partner schools, which introduced the project and raised awareness of water use and ecological consumption.The results improved the water literacy of students aged 10-16, gave them awareness of lifelong sustainable consumption habits and responsible global citizenship. In this way, more information about the water cycle, water pollution and its effects on the environment and people can be included in school curricula.
