The Source of Everything
National Water Museum of China, China. Zhongshan Primary School, Lishui City. Lu Yuetian
Everything has its origin. Water is very important because it is the source of life. Everything in the world can’t live without water. The proportion of water in a human body is about 70%. People can live without eating food for three days, but they will be very close to death if they don’t drink water for three days. The same goes for other creatures. What a terrible world it would be if there is no water left on the earth!

Every River Is…
Water Museum of Venice, Italy. Primary school “C. Gardan”, Caselle di Santa Maria di Sala. 4^A-4^B
The work represents a flowing river with its different identities and characteristics. It was created by superimposing the profiles of the students, colored in the shades of the river. For each profile, a sentence is reported, taken from Monika Vaicenavičienė's book "What is a river?". Some sentences have been chosen and transcribed in full. An aspect of the river for each child profile, united to form a single large watercourse, which embraces each of us in our uniqueness and our own way of expressing ourselves. Because EVERY RIVER IS all of this! Each sentence on the river refers to a key word, expressed inclusively also in CAA (Augmentative Alternative Communication) and Braille on labels glued under each profile.

Protecting it and water is essential in the context of climate change and environmental degradation. As far as water is concerned, pollution is one of the biggest problems. Anthropogenic pollution is the main contributor to the contamination of freshwater, affecting the health of the Earth as well as that of living creatures and humans. As a result, the Earth suffers because its tears are not used for good purposes. They must be used to enjoy it as it is, as God made it. They must be transformed from tears of sorrow and suffering into tears or joy and affection
