EYDAP: MISSION WATER CYCLE AT THE MARATHON DAM

Co-developed and co-produced, in collaboration with Planet Agents, “Mission: water cycle”, an experiential learning adventure, an innovative, large-scale learning game, for 150 children aged 10-13. It was presented during the three-day festival at Athens Marathon Dam, in celebration of theWorld Environment Day by EYDAP in June 2012.

The learning goal was to raise children’s environmental awareness. It took place along the valley at the base of Marathon Dam, creatively utilizing in a unique way the existing buildings.

 Designed and realized in collaboration with “Planet Agents», a non-profit organization providing experiential environmental education for children and youth. The project was funded by “Athens Water Supply and Sewerage Company” (EYDAP) with the support of DEPA.

Children participants in the “Mission: Water Cycle” become “Planet Agents”. They undertake a secret mission starting in the ancient temple at the base of the Marathon Dam to “save” the water cycle. In order to complete the stages of their mission, they have to overcome various obstacles and collect the precious “water coins”. They walk along the valley at the base of the dam following the water cycle; they learn about the importance of water conservation and reuse practices, renewable energy sources and environmental protection in general.
