Our Works
The Project started in 2022. It is implemented in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the Ministry of National Education and the TEMA Foundation as of 2024. The Water Fellowship Project was designed to raise awareness among children about the importance of water resources for life, water ecosystems, water efficiency and water footprint.
Under the scope of the Water Fellowship Project, educational activities are carried out on the importance of water for life, water ecosystem, water pollution, saving water, water efficiency, water sustainability and water footprint for 3rd and 4th-graders in the primary schools.
As part of the project designed for primary school children, an implementation guideline, educational presentation, animation film and a book for children were developed. In addition, a volunteer letter, ID card, water fellowship visual and brochures for classes were developed to be distributed to children participating in the activity. In addition, the educational materials developed are available digitally in the “For Teachers” section of the Water TEMA website.
The aim of the Water TEMA website is to raise awareness about water resources, water ecosystems, water problems, sustainable management of water and water literacy by underlining the vital importance of water.
The Water TEMA website encompasses a total of 50 infographics in 8 sections. It also includes visuals to be shared in social media, a section where users can test themselves on water literacy and become water volunteers. There are also sections (“For Children” and “For Teachers”) specifically designed for children and teachers. All educational materials developed within the scope of the project are sent to the e-mail addresses of teachers who fill out the form.
As part of the project, we reached approximately 18,400 primary school children in 55 provinces by the end of June 2025. We continued to expand our reach by updating sutema.org on numerous topics, including water resources, the water cycle, aquatic ecosystems, water use in Türkiye and globally, water threats, sustainable water management, and the protection of water resources.
