Sustainable use of water based resources
Date du début: 1 sept. 2016, Date de fin: 31 août 2019 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

SUSSWATER is a Strategic Partnership project between four host organisations offering post-16 and further education, VAL vgs (an Upper Secondary school in Norway), Bromangymnasiet (an Upper Secondary school in Sweden), Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM a State Agency in Ireland) and South Devon College (a Further Education college in UK). Focusing on the sustainable use of natural water resources as our study theme - with special emphasis on the development of aquaculture and fisheries - there will be four visits organised in each of the hosts countries.The primary objective is the exchange of best practice within educational methodology, but also in respect of the relevant industries, stimulating innovation.To achieve a sustainable use of our natural resources within Europe, these partnerships are essential to ensure long-term, continuous improvements, leading to a motivated and skilled work force to bring about effective change and development.Each of the partners will host one week of activities, over the three-year programme, welcoming six students/instructors from each partner, with one activity each year. These activities will relate to a specific local geographical area bringing a focus on the merits sustainable development for all stakeholders and the potential of new species development with a mixture of theory, visits, work experience/exercises and workshops. As well as engaging with the host partner, these workshops will involve an engagement with governmental bodies, local industry and include instruction to people outside the project, for example with a local primary school. As part of the week, the host will be expected to include elements of the social and cultural dimension of the area to engender goodwill and empathy amongst the participants.There will be close dialogue before and after the events to ensure proper planning, management and to ensure the best outcome for the participants involved. The participants will each submit activity reports which will be uploaded to a dedicated website and they will be encouraged to engage via social media to share expectations and experiences. All participating students will receive a Europass. The activities will provide valuable new knowledge on the bio-economy, to each participant, as well as the partner organization, improving motivation and skill, especially in the field of the sustainable use of our water resources. Participation in this project for the partners will have an intrinsic marketing value in addition to an increased international network and improved teaching skills, along with increased understanding of the management and structure of this resource. The potential longer term benefit will be an increased interest in education and career development within bio-economy. Thus we will - as partners and institutions - be proactive creating opportunities for education and research within aquaculture in environmentally focused professions. We will promote sustainabilty and ethics. We will help fight poverty and prepare young peolpe for future employment.
