This project followed a Comenius Regio project which was realized in the years 2012-2014. The project partners wanted to continue successful cooperation which was started thanks to that project and wanted to develop European dimension of their work and education. Both regions are located in structurally weak areas and suffer from low infrastructure. This project helped to innovated educational methods in local schools and kindergartens as well as the cooperation in community life. The topic of this project was Water as a phenomenon in the life of mankind and a common component of European pre-primary and primary education.

Educational institution prepared their own materials and worksheets and finally all materials were collected to form the final products of this project. An important project activity represents creating an educational footpath, which is also considered as a long-term result of this project and will enhance the attractiveness of both regions for tourists in the future. Besides that six transnational meetings were realised during the project life cycle.The project had three main products - a children book with pictures and poems, a set of methodology worksheets and colouring worksheets related to water and finally an educational foot-path around the local water areas.
