With my animation I tried to represent not only the known consequences of excessive water consumption, but also the impact it has on animals and people when they do not have access to drinking water. We must save water not just for ourselves, but for everyone. In the animation, both characters have the same source of water, the lake, but the water is wasted and not used carefully, leaving both characters without water, one of them being innocent and suffering from the consequences of the waste. This animation was entirely designed and edited by me, the scenarios/backgrounds as well as the characters are my own.

This poem takes the flow of water as its central image, permeating through the seasons to showcase the omnipresence of water and its significance to life. From the meandering streams to the rippling lakes, from the gracefully scattered snowflakes to the vastness of rivers and seas, water, in its diverse forms, becomes a bond connecting nature with human emotions. We pay close attention to nature, feeling the rhythm of water, and experiencing its nurturing and inclusive nature that fosters all life within the natural world. With delicate descriptions, I have portrayed the concrete yet abstract entity of "water" as it quietly fills the gaps in my life, conveying the feelings it brings to me. The poem also expresses my awe for water and my affection for nature.…

Water Museum of Venice, Italy. "Leonardo Da Vinci” primary school, Albignasego. 4^A

Fourth grade students participated in workshops promoted by the reclamationconsortium of the water network of their living area. Afterwards, they’ve written slogans andrhyming sentences to summarize what they’ve learned. Furthermore, through a collective writingactivity, they ‘ve realized a rap on phyto-depuration, a topic that particularly intrigued them.The song’s lyrics have been sung in small groups, accompanied by a simple sequence of beats withrhythm sticks. The rhyming verses have been created in English, too. The class also created ametaphorical drawing, titled "Let's change the future", which they realized in turns, to symbolizehow everyone's contribution is needed to protect waterways. The poster aims to highlight howthe water is in danger and in short supply in many parts of the world. The snowball shows howglobal warming is expanding semi-desert climate zones and how air and water pollution is leadingto catastrophic scenarios. New generations are increasingly sensitive to these issues and, throughdaily actions, they do their part to reverse the trend, awakening adults’ consciences. They bringtheir contribution, "the fallen piece of glass", attempting to stem the negative consequences andget a colorful future again.

The bright and lively melodic passages are akin to sunbeams piercing through the leaves of trees along the banks.

When you look at this single drop of water It becomes clear that pearls form within oysters without human intervention. These pearls must be preserved because a single drop, like a single Pearl, can determine the course of ocean. It can bring drought on the greening of the ocean. This serves as a reminder for everyone who uses water: don't underestimate the power of a single drop. Each drop contributes to the greater whole. Be a conservationist,not a waster

This is an original song written by Indus Valley World School. It speaks of the beginning of existence when the world was beautiful - the birds sang, while the river waters from the melting snows and the gentle rain gurgled their own song. However, once humans got the opportunity, they began desecrating and polluting the rivers. As we poisoned and choked our rivers, not for once did we pause to think that for us Water is Life. For all our human follies and abuse, we shall suffer if we do not pause and take stock now. We need to understand that we are the protectors of Mother Earth; we need to honour and protect our water. We, the children of Indus Valley World School, have made it our mission to spread this awareness to the world - Water is Life, Water is our Religion, Water is our Strength and in protecting Water lies our Future

Water – The Measure Of All Things

Autonomous Province of Trento, Italy. Scuola Primaria Ragoli, Tre Ville. 5^

The protagonist of this story is an old cube-shaped tin container. It holds exactly 1 liter of water and we took it with us to the fountains near the school. These fountains have an ancient history and are the true wealth of our towns. We filled the cube with frozen snow and let it melt. The experiment demonstrates rising global temperatures and rising sea levels. The consequences of climate change manifest themselves with increasingly frequent extreme weather events that change the environment. Scientific studies confirm that these phenomena are caused by human interference and gas emissions. Global warming leads us towards an uncertain future and forces us to become aware of how we have changed the planet. We must find solutions to slow this change. Each of us can make a difference by adopting a sustainable lifestyle. The retreat of glaciers, such as that of Adamello, is evidence of ongoing climate change. It is essential to act now to avoid irreversible consequences. Together we can change the future of the planet
