In Tržič, Slovenia water has always been an important factor of the industry in Tržič (blacksmiths, shoemakers). It also shapes the landscape of Tržič and its surroundings (a great site: Dovžan Gorge). This means it has influenced the lives of the people in great extent.

Water is a great part of our lives, wherever we live. Drops of water can perhaps travel from Slovenia to Poland, Spain and all the way to Iceland. We share water from rivers, streams, lakes and sea through the global water cycle.

Project aims are strongly connected with developing literacy and democracy in classrooms. The project approach and working inspired by the preschools in Reggio Emilia are the basis of  the teaching and learning approach within this project. The main method is “Look at me” – including observing children and the child centered approach, as it was presented during the teacher training event in Slovenia. During the project activities, we want to encourage creativity, exploring and children’s participation in their learning process and promote outdoor education.
