WaterforLifeacrossTheBible and Nowadays exhibition

22nd March, a day among other days where we are to remember the central importance of water in our lives and for the world in general. The more water we have access to, the greater responsibility we have to use it wisely and share it with others who have less than we have.

WaterforLifeacrossTheBible and nowadays is an etwinning project that brings together two legacies from the past to the future: Water and the Bible.

Water in the Bible is associated to different contexts acquiring different meanings. Too much water as in the Flood was far from a blessing to those outside the ark; too little water as described in drought situations led to conflicts and even violence.

Here are photos of an exhibition in a Secondary School in Lisbon, where the two legacies are brought together with work produced by students from different schools.

An etwinning project carried out by two Portuguese Secondary Schools - D. Dinis and Rainha Dona Leonor, Lisbon

Finding out about Water texts in the Bible and its meanings is a creative starting point to foster the awareness of the importance of water across generations and the responsibility to use it wisely. Partir à descoberta de textos da Bíblia que falem de significados da Água é um ponto de partida invulgar para se tomar maior consciência da importância da água através das gerações e alterar comportamentos de gasto excessivo.

This was the goal of this etwinning project that united at european level 2 schools from Portugal, 1 from Germany, 3 from Romania. The two schools involved in Portugal were: Sec. D. Dinis ( 2008-2009 ) and Sec. Rainha Dona Leonor ( 2009/2010/2011 ). Several Portuguese AcrossTheBible schools have cooperated in several ways for the general results achieved.Thank you very much!
