In October - December 2009, S.C. ACET S.A. Suceava, in partnership with Suceava School Inspectorate, carried out the Educational Project “Water means Life”.
The project was part of the awareness and publicity campaigns under the ISPA Measure No. 2005/RO/16/P/PE/004 Suceava – “Suceava Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Water Supply and Wastewater Systems located in Suceava County in Romania”, funded by the European Union.
The program implemented by S.C. ACET S.A. had as target group students from the schools located in the areas where ISPA works are underway, and it has provided a valuable opportunity to show the children the benefits the ISPA Measure is bringing to the city of Suceava as well as the EU efforts to improve the environment and living conditions in the countries which recently adhered to the European Union.
The aim was to help children understand how the water and sewerage systems are operated in the city of Suceava as well as the need to have the ISPA measure implemented in Suceava.
The project objectives were:
- to provide information on the EU contribution to the development of the environment sector in Suceava;
- to make students and teachers gain a first-hand understanding of what Suceava ISPA stands for and, implicitly, to make parents and the local community become aware of the benefits the Suceava ISPA Measure brings;
- to boost the children’s creativity;
- to make them become aware of the role each of us plays in creating a healthier environment.
As part of this project, students build up bookmarks, mock-ups (on plywood), composed brochures and, last but not least, essays on drinking water and water pollution.
The project mainly addressed the children in the IVth grade from 10 schools in Suceava.
On December 14th 2009 the awards ceremony was held in Iulius Mall Suceava, honouring all the students participating in the Project and the winning students coming from four different schools in Suceava.
The event which was attended by students from 10 schools, teachers and parents, was also joined by Mr. Stefan Groza, General Manager of S.C. ACET S.A. Suceava, by Ms. Tatiana Vîntur, School Inspector with the County School Inspectorate, and by Mr. Viorel Seredenciuc, Deputy Mayor.
The guests attended an artistic show crafted by students, including winter carols, songs and poems.
At the end of the event, all students received awards for their involvement, talent and hard work and, following the competitions held, 3 different award winners from 4 schools were selected.
