Overview

Project FLOW (For the Love of Water) engages elementary and secondary students in sustainability education through hands-on projects that model responsible and active citizenship. The experiential component prepares students to be stewards of our water resources and engages them in action that addresses local water issues and concerns.

Through Project FLOW, Learning for a Sustainable Future (LSF) is working with teachers and students to provide the necessary tools to identify water issues that are important to them and provide ideas for action.

*PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DEADLINE FOR ALL PROJET FLOW APPLICATIONS HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO MARCH 31st, 2010*

Project FLOW Ideas

Stumped? Here are some fun project ideas to consider!

One more good reason to take on a FLOW project...

There are lots of good reasons to take on a FLOW project at your school this year, but if you want yet another one, here it is! Document all or part of your FLOW project on video, and send it to Project FLOW, c/o Learning for a Sustainable Future (please see full address below). A review committee will pick the two best videos, and the classes that created them will each receive $500 towards a class field trip that is related to water stewardship*. For example, a class in Vancouver could choose to visit the Vancouver Aquarium, or a class in Winnipeg could choose to visit Oak Hammock Marsh. There will also be runner-up prizes for the first 5 schools that submit a video but do not win one of the grand prizes. Runner-up prizes include a marine mammal adoption kit from the World Wildlife Fund or a copy of the film "Flow." The deadline for video submission is May 15th, 2010, and the winners will be announced by May 31st, 2010. We look forward to receiving your videos, and we hope that you enjoy being a part of Project FLOW!
