700 children learn the value of water in the Our Water” project!

In the period from May 6th to June 12th, 2025, the exciting educational project "Our Water" of the Weddel teaching (WWL) Water Association (WWL) took place, which introduced more than 700 participants into the world of water cleaning and nature conservation. Over 679 children from 16 primary schools in the Braunschweig-Wolfsburg region took part, supported by 67 teachers and accompanying persons. As cremlingen-online.de reported, the goal of the project was to be clearly conveyed to the processes of sewage cleaning in the association's sewage treatment plant in teaching/Wendhausen. The children learned not only the technical aspects, but also the value of water for all living things.

The accompanying activities were diverse. The children were allowed to remove the water quality for insect larvae, fish, snails, snails, water beetles and even water body to determine the water quality. This practical approach made it easier to understand the natural water cycle and the goal of only returning well-cleaned water, such as Geopark-hblo.de

insights into the water world

On the first day of the project, the children were explained to the children the basics of the water cycle and the wastewater treatment. A guided tour of the WWL's sewage treatment plant gave the students interesting insights into the complex processes of water treatment. The pedagogical content was prepared in a child -friendly manner and enabled the students to actively deal with the topic of water.

The project has been carried out in the primary schools of the WWL association area since 2014 and is very popular. The positive response of the participants was also a good sign for WWL managing director Ralf Johannes and WWL project manager Sabine Walz. These feedback confirms the plans to increase the number of participants to up to 1000 primary school children by 2030. To do this, you are now looking for other funding partners.

sustainability and environmental awareness

The excellent cooperation with the Lower Saxony Bingo Environmental Foundation and the generous donation of the EDEKA market Bartsch from teaching for healthy break catering have also supported the project and show how important local partnerships are for the implementation of environmental projects. In addition to the adventure in nature, awareness of the need for sustainable use of water and water was encouraged, which is of enormous importance in today's world.

Environmental projects such as "Our Water" are not only instructive, but also an important step towards awareness of young generations for natural topics. Actions like this contribute to the fact that children develop and understand a feeling for the importance of water, what it means to take responsibility for our environment. In this way, our education system makes a valuable contribution to climate protection, as well as the Teacher page . Projects in schools ensure that the next generations are sensitized to sustainable practices and can actively contribute to improving our environment.
