Within the framework of the international project “Blue Changemakers – Youth Power for Ocean Sustainability”, an educational and cognitive trip to the Mtkvari River was carried out with VII A grade students. The main goal of the activity was to provide students with a practical introduction to the history of the river, its purpose and vital importance for both the natural and urban environment.

During the river tour, students observed how the Mtkvari is connected to the urban planning of the city of Tbilisi. They discussed the role of the river in the development process of the city, its impact on infrastructure and water systems. Special attention was paid to the connection of the Mtkvari with sewage canals, other water resources and the water management system in general.

During the activity, students discussed the ecological state of the river, possible sources of pollution and the impact this has on biodiversity and people's daily lives. The visit strengthened their sense of environmental responsibility and helped develop critical thinking and observation skills.

This activity was an important part of the practical component of the project, which gave the students the opportunity to transfer theoretical knowledge to a real environment and better understand the importance of protecting water resources.

7th grade students wrote interesting stories and gave them titles according to their own ideas; this was one of the activities within the project. It was especially interesting for the children because it made them think and better understand what water experiences as a result of people's careless behavior...

As part of this project, one of the planned activities was a teaching and learning lesson, which was successfully carried out. Within the framework of the project, the Geography teacher, M. Tsiklauri, conducted an engaging and informative lesson in Grade 7A, dedicated to the study of the city’s main river — the Mtkvari River.

After the lesson, students were assigned tasks, through which they conducted mini-research and gathered information about various important aspects of the river, including its geographical location, ecological condition, uses, and its significance in the life of the city.

The students presented their work at a high level and were actively engaged throughout the process. They gained a deeper understanding of the main river in their city, its role, and the challenges it faces in the modern environment.

The activity significantly contributed to the development of students’ research skills, critical thinking, and environmental responsibility.

Together with our 10th grade students, we carried out an educational and observation-based field trip along an irrigation canal whose source comes from Uludağ. Although it is called an “irrigation canal,” it plays a much greater role due to the surrounding villages and agricultural lands that depend on this water source. The activity allowed students to closely observe the strong relationship between nature, water resources, and human life.

During the trip, students observed that the recent heavy rainfall had significantly increased the water level and accelerated the flow of the stream. Because of the fast current, mud and various wastes were carried along the water, causing it to appear muddy and polluted. Students discussed how rainfall patterns, erosion, and environmental conditions can directly affect water quality and ecosystems.

One of the most remarkable parts of the activity was learning about the long journey of the water. Students discovered that the water originating from Uludağ flows through Bursa and merges with the Nilüfer Stream, then joins the Simav Stream before eventually reaching the Marmara Sea. This led to discussions about how even a small local water source can become part of a much larger global water system.

From the Marmara Sea, the water can continue to the Aegean Sea and then to the Mediterranean Sea. From there, it may travel through the Suez Canal and the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait to reach the Indian Ocean, or pass through the Strait of Gibraltar and flow into the Atlantic Ocean. Through this example, students realized that water has no borders and is part of an interconnected global cycle.

This field trip provided students not only with the opportunity to observe a local water source, but also to better understand the importance of water in agriculture, ecosystems, and the global environment. The activity helped strengthen their environmental awareness, observation skills, and understanding of the world’s interconnected natural systems.

As the first part of our first activity,,7th grade students of Ressam İbrahim Çallı Secondary School stepped out of the classroom,instead of being passive observers they chose to be Active Water Guardians.

The main goal of this field walk was to help our students understand the innerconnectedjourney of water from our local streams to the global ocean.

We started our trip in Altındere,then Çürüksu and lasted in Büyük Menderes.The trip was conducted under the expert .Social Sciences teacher, Murat Karol.His guidance and geographical expertise provided students with a deep understanding of the local ecosystem.

Students were equipped with specialized Action Kits,including A3 observation boards,markers and water safe clipboards.

As part of the Bluepower Action Cycle, our students successfully completed Activity 1: "Our Waters, Our Story". After conducting an insightful field observation walk to record the health and pulse of our local ecosystem , the students transformed their data into collaborative "River to Ocean" maps.

Our expert Murat teacher helped them to understand how the small movement starting this river will help us to protect our oceansand how they can be better changemakers:)

🌊 From Students to Active Scientists! 🌍✨

During our recent field trip, our students underwent an incredible transformation from passive observers into active nature researchers . By investigating our local water sources firsthand, they mapped out how a single stream connects to the global ocean system.

​They weren't just taking notes—they were analyzing flow dynamics, studying biodiversity, documenting human impact, and sketching local specimens. This hands-on experience has sharpened their critical thinking, enhanced their research skills, and sparked a profound sense of environmental responsibility.

# data[].attributes.body
The highlight of this phase was the completion of the "Action Corner". Students engaged in critical thinking to bridge local awareness with global action by finalizing: 3 Key Threats: Documenting critical issues like plastic runoff and human-induced pollution observed during their fieldwork. 3 Sustainable Solutions: Developing practical, community-driven steps like local clean-ups to mitigate these threats.

This critical section is now fully finalized and highlighted on our posters, which have been uploaded to the system and displayed in our school gallery to encourage collective environmental responsibility.
