  1. Cooperation among schools…on environmental topics Part two – International level

  2. Why cooperation? In general… • To develop a topic (Water in this case…) with a path common to different EU countries • To give the chance to students to experiment and become aware that river basin management and water protection is a supranational problem

  3. Water Note 1Joining Forces for Europe's Shared Waters: Coordination in international river basin districts The European Union is a land of shared waters. About 60% of the EU's surface area lies in river basins that cross at least one national border, and all Member States except Cyprus and Malta contain sections of at least one international river basin district (IRBD). Under the Water Framework Directive, each Member State is responsible for implementation in the portion of an IRBD lying within its territory and should coordinate these actions with the the other Member States in the district.

  4. To know more about the implementing of Water framework directive in different countries • To learn more about best practise in Water management in EU • To build-up the awareness of a common European feeling in environmental management, in spite of the differences between countries

  5. Water Note 7 Intercalibration: A common scale for Europe's waters Parts of The Tagliamento River (Italy) presenting high and good ecological status have been used for the intercalibration of Alpine Rivers Arno Mohl, WWF Austria …The goal of intercalibration is not to establish common assessment systems. Each Member State chooses its own methods according to the provisions of the directive. Intercalibration ensures that the different national systems achieve comparable results.

  6. At last, but not least… • The opportunity to communicate in foreign languages • The chance to communicate at distance with IT-tools and experiment the use of technology and web in working (according to Lisbona key-competencies)

  7. How to cooperate at trans-national level? (I) • Subscribe a didactical project in one of the international programs such FYR • FYR is open to everybody, if they log-in (not all the international projects are open) • FYR permits to create an easy partnership No special resources are required • Few tools to permit the field activities

  8. How to cooperate at trans-national level? (II) to link a virtual partnership with a real students’ exchange FUNDING • Life learning Programme (LLP) Comenius – Gruntvig • Inter-reg transborder projects • Local (regional) grants
