Project overview

This project is aimed at enhancing students’ awareness towards SDG 6 while focusing on broadening their cultural awareness, tolerance and respect towards other cultures and also improving their digital and educational learning. 

Working methods

Students will mainly work collaboratively in groups of four. English will be used at all times and therefore, we will focus on the written and spoken form. There will be two hours a week (one from the English class and the other from the science) where students will develop different skills and knowledge about SDG6.

Marking scheme

All tasks will be evaluated with a rubric.
