"The Water Company in Ziros Lake" for Erasmus+ students

The best way to meet goals 6: Clean Water and Sanitation, 15: Life on Land and 17: Partnerships for the Goals of Agenda 2030 was to visit the wetland of rare beauty and great ecological interest in Lake Ziros.
Thus, on 19th December, the Erasmus students of our school attended the training program "The Water Company in Ziros Lake" of The Environmental Center of Filippiada, where they got to know the ecosystem of Ziros lake, the physical and chemical properties of water, its biological role and the problems that arise from its inappropriate use and mismanagement. The program combined all the elements concerning the study of water through an experiential approach, as there was direct access to the lake and the lakeside ecosystem, as well as observation, research and activity that were carried out. Specifically, physicochemical parameters of lake water, such as pH, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, ammonia, temperature and dissolved oxygen, were measured by the students themselves with the guidance of the responsible staff.
The educational visit resulted in the building of knowledge, the development of
skills, as well as the formation of students' values ​​and attitudes towards the
environment.
