Thanks to this project, we have raised awareness among the students of different European educational institutes, their families and the whole of the school community of the need to become more familiar with the river or the stream in their area, in order to understand the issues related to the use of water and change their attitude as far as the consumption of water is concerned.That’s why we have carried out various activities in each partnercountry. The students have cooperated closely and kept in constant touch through a blog which was enriched regularly. This work was divided into two parts: a technical, technological and practical part on the one hand and a more theoretical and creative component on the other. All the activities have been carried out in collaboration with local partners whose participation and skills in various areas are related to our thematic units. To be more specific our activities have resulted in the :- use and modification of drones equiped to do research on the river- study of the riversides and the ecological system of the stream/river- creation of a pack of playing cards having for subject the river and its environment- study of narratives about the river- creation and managing of a collaborative weblog, creation of a publicity, a song containing paragraphs in the different languages of the countries involved in the project.- creation of a photo album with images of the relief, the flora and the fauna caracteristique for each river, creation of a fictitious business related to the river- analysis of greco-roman remains near the river- realisation of an exposition : reminescence and creation of a catalogue of bridges- creation of a booklet with literary texts existing within the culture of each of the partner countries or created by the students- statistic analysis of variables of a bidimensionnel river- photo album with explanation about manufactural activities-geografical and historical studies of rivers' usage from the 7 countries Our aim was to share experiences, learn from each other and therefore make the European citizens ecologically responsible and focused on the protection of their environment.We have been able to exchange different practical approaches concerning teaching to understand the educational diversity of the other countries. This project has promoted a stronger European collaboration by reinforcing the bonds among the students, the teachers and the families of the partner countries. It allowed the creation of collaboration for future projects. The dissemination of this European experience has inspired more students to develop other projects or/and to open up their horizons. It encouraged people to be members of a community with a common aim and special features as well. This project had an impact on the school communities by its interdisciplinary approach, it also had an impact on a local level by changing the way the students and the inhabitants look at their river and their culture and by initiating good practices on an environmental level.We are continuing the discussions with the Dareic and the local education authority in order to make the exchange durable thanks to an optional course about European issues. We haven't come to an agreement yet.On the other hand, we are starting a student exchange programme for the new school year with 2 partner countries in a sort of prolongation and as a positive consequence of the project.
