Grades 9-12: Global Passport: Moving the World Toward Achieving Safe Drinking Water
MAGPI STUDENT PROGRAMS
Global Passport: Moving the World Toward Achieving Safe Drinking Water and Sanitation for All
Project Dates and Times:
· Global Passport Kick-Off Videoconference: Understanding the Global Water Crisis Friday, October 24, 2008 * 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. ET
· Teacher Workshop: Working with your students to launch a clean water action planFriday, January 23, 2009 * Time TBD
· World Water Day Presentations: This is How WE Took Action Friday, March 20, 2008 * 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. ET
Target Grade Levels: Students in Grades 9-12
One of the eight United Nations Millennium Development Goals agreed upon by the world’s countries and leading development institutions is to reduce by half the number of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation by the year 2015. This year-long program will introduce students to the facts about the world water crisis, allow students to investigate and support various water-related projects, take an active role in moving the world toward the millennium goal and publicize their efforts through a video collaboration.
The project kicks off on UN Day, with an interactive videoconference featuring an engaging panel of experts that will challenge and motivate students. Following the kick-off, students will begin their own research into issues surrounding clean water in various parts of the world and select projects they would like to support. Mid-way through the project, teachers will attend a virtual professional development event with Fairmount Waterworks Interpretative Center staff that will help them support their students in their clean water action projects and video development projects. Following the implementation of their projects, students will produce a video highlighting their efforts and share their projects in a culminating videoconference on World Water Day in May.
