Goals
The Project follows three fundamental pillars:
- Improving eco literacy through research and disseminating knowledge on riversecosystems thus promoting positive and responsible habits
- Promoting environmental volunteering through responsible research and innovation, engaging students, teachers and staff from higher education institutions.
- Fostering citizens engagement in the protection of water ecosystems by promoting awareness and knowledge.
- The LIVINGRIVER project aimsat raising awareness, improving skills and competences and fostering initiatives to achieve more sustainable and healthy rivers by developing and disseminating resources and tools which resort on scientific research towards a well informed and consequent global action.
Mission
Through the project’s innovative and open education resorting on digital teaching and learning, methods will be produced, developing ICT tools to be used by students and local communities to create and analyse data regarding streams health. Scientific research methods and knowledge will be fundamental in engaging students in practical and meaningful research in their own environment (becoming “young scientists”), thus widely contributing to prevent and combat early school leaving, particularly in the countryside, where the rates are higher.
