THE PRESENTATION OF THE SLOGAN COMPETITION USAK/TURKEY

What is a slogan? A slogan is a phrase, a short sentence, a headline or a dictum, which, intentionally or unintentionally, amounts to an appeal to the person who is exposed to it to buy some article, to revive or strengthen an already well-established stereotype, to accept a new idea, or to undertake some action. Shortly it implies a value judgment A slogan is a phrase, a short sentence, a headline or a dictum, which, intentionally or unintentionally, amounts to an appeal to the person who is exposed to it to buy some article, to revive or strengthen an already well-established stereotype, to accept a new idea, or to undertake some action.

3 Why we chose to organise a slogan competition? Our aim is to increase the awareness of the importance water preservation and clean water. We chose to organise a slogan competition, because we think a slogan is the easiest way to draw people’s attention to our subject. Also it is effective because it doesn’t require much time and concentration to read or understand it. Our aim is to increase the awareness of the importance water preservation and clean water.

4 How To Act Upon The Slogans At our school Learning to save water can start at any age – and children and teachers can make a big difference by being careful with water while at school. Our aim should be to educate the community about how important water is and how we can save it. So here’s some ideas that can be used by everyone at our schools.

5 Ideas for everyone Everyone going to school can save water – we don’t have to be the principal or even a teacher to find ways not to waste water. Here’s some ideas that every student and teacher can use: Save water from the drinking taps. Place ice cream containers under the water fountains/bubblers and pour excess water on the garden. Turn taps off after washing hands. Catch rain water. Place containers outside when it rains and collect the water to put on the garden. Wash paint brushes in a bucket or ice cream container – don’t use running water Bring a water bottle to school. At the end of the day, any left-over water can be poured on the garden. Create colourful and fun posters on water education. Tell someone when we see a leak – a leaking tap, bubbler or toilet wastes a lot of water – getting a leak fixed quickly will save a lot of water and money. Even a bubbler that is dribbling water wastes a lot of precious water during a day.

6 Ideas for teachers Here are a few ideas for educating the next generation about the importance of water in our lives. The Arts: Paint pictures, view or present performances or sing songs that convey the water conservation message Turkish: read articles or debate water related issues in our local area, or write stories about the role that water plays in our life Mathematics: Apply mathematical inquiry and techniques to measure rainfall in our local area, carry out a water audit at our school, or understand the amount of water used in our local region; get students to monitor water use at home - read the meter daily, determine how much water is used per person in the household and set percentages for improvement - most improved could win a prize at the end of a month / term / year

7 Science: Study the water cycle, test water quality in our local area (comparing different land uses upstream of various locations), understand the importance of water for life and how plants and animals adapt to different water conditions (aquatic to arid), understand the role of water in geological formations or atmospheric conditions Studies of Society and Environment: Investigate the land use within the local region, the impacts these have on water conditions and usage, and how these have changed over time Technology: Investigate the development of water supply and water treatment in our local area, and how these technologies consider the environment and society in order to support economic growth. Health & Physical Education: Discuss how water quality and quantity can impact the health of the individual and community relations; investigate the functions of the local water authority Science: Study the water cycle, test water quality in our local area (comparing different land uses upstream of various locations), understand the importance of water for life and how plants and animals adapt to different water conditions (aquatic to arid), understand the role of water in geological formations or atmospheric conditions Studies of Society and Environment: Investigate the land use within the local region, the impacts these have on water conditions and usage, and how these have changed over time Technology: Investigate the development of water supply and water treatment in our local area, and how these technologies consider the environment and society in order to support economic growth.

8 Ideas for principals Principals have a lot of responsibility in managing school resources, making sure all taps, toilets and sinks work correctly and the school is safe for children to use. Here’s some important tips for principals to remember when managing the school and its water use: Consider installing aerators on taps to reduce flow through taps. Consider installing rainwater tanks. Use rainwater to flush toilets or for watering the garden. Check for leaks. Get someone to fix the leaking taps, bubblers or toilets as soon as possible. Consider installing dual flush toilets. Consider installing taps which automatically shut off
