Larnaca, Cyprus. The Larnaca district government has launched an educational initiative to encourage water conservation among primary school pupils and preschool children as part of its “Larnaca -26” campaign.
The programme includes an activity book using games, creative exercises and interactive learning to explain the importance of protecting water resources.
School distribution
The booklet has already been distributed to public and private summer schools and nurseries across the district.
Wider distribution is planned for the start of the new school year.
Daily water habits
Children take part in activities including identifying water-wasting habits, observation exercises and creative tasks. The initiative aims to show how changes in daily routines can help conserve water.
The programme also seeks to encourage children to share what they learn with their families and communities.
