The experiential learning adventure for environmental awareness
takes place at the Marathon dam.
It all starts and ends at the "ancient" temple by the Marathon Dam, which is a replica
of the Athenian Treasury temple in Delphi, built after their victory at the Battle of Marathon
The scale will decide whether the students
have successfully fulfilled their mission
The students become planet agents
and accept their secret mission to save the water cycle
They consult their secret mission map
and search the valley for each station
The devoted planet agents are rushing to solve the riddles
in order to obtain the valuable "water" coins
They are building an aqueduct,
in order to transport the water to the Water Treatment Plant
They completed the challenge at the pumping station.
Where does the water cycle lead them next? How do they get there?
The young agents purify the water, following the "cooking" recipe
at the Water Treatment Plant and win the valuable water coins.
The water at the Dam is not drinking water.
It contains soil, leaves and microorganisms.
The students experience hands-on how water is treated to become drinking water
with the addition of two purifying chemicals.
After filtering, the drinking water will go to home consumption.
Students carry a water canister through all the treatment and usage stages along the water cycle.
Students experience the water treatment process to become drinkable,
through the simulation with a cooking recipe.
Students apply water saving good practices at home consumption
in their quest to save the water cycle.

in their quest to save the water cycle.
Students use drinking water at home to wash their hands.
The used, dirty water will go next to the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Students are searching for saving water tips
in every corner of the house.
The students are listening carefully at the directions
regarding the next challenge they are about to face.
What should we do if we spot water leakage in the street?
We notify EYDAP immediately about the leakage and its technicians will fix it.
How do we teach students that they shouldn't throw oil down the drain?
We let them experience how difficult it is to separate it afterwards.
When does water end up at the wastewater sewer rather than the stormwater drainage?
Let's play a game to connect each water use to the correct sewer network.
Cooking oil thrown in the wastewater sewer damages the environment.
Students experience through a game this important issue.
Students are deeply focused on their mission. They are in a state of Flow.
They are learning about the water cycle and how to save water through games.

The Planet Agents have successfully completed the challenges at each stage of the water cycle.
They are returning at the temple to accomplish their mission.
The moment of truth has come for the mission "Water Cycle".
If the scale tilts under the coins' weight, then water will start flowing again in the valley.

Students' faces are radiant
after successfully completing the mission "Water Cycle".
