The Gift of Rain. Educational material for
ESD. MIO-ECSDE & GWP-MED, 2014 (3rd
edition)
The educational material “The gift of rain”
(produced in the Greek language) aims to
raise awareness and educate students of
late middle and secondary level (10-16
years old) towards the sustainable
management of water. More specifically
the material aims to cultivate in students
the necessary skills to address the old,
partly abandoned practices of rainwater
collection, that have been traditionally
applied in the Cyclades islands over the
centuries, as well as the modern
techniques that can be applied today in
homes, hotels, etc. in order to collect,
economise, or recycle water (through grey
water reuse). Overall the material aims for
students to acquire a positive attitude
towards wise water use in their daily lives.
