The exhibition is comprised of short video animations and story boards. It aims, on one hand, to sensitize the public in Greece and Malta about the water resources, their threats in both countries and wider in the Mediterranean, aggregated by climate change, and on the other, to shed light on potential solutions offered through alternative, 'non-conventional' water resources.
All videos are exclusive creations of students of Department of Graphic Design and Visual Communication of the University of Western Attica. Their content relates to various aspects (from (over)consumption, to pollution, irrigation, etc.). The short video animations created with youthful imagination, humor and taste transmit messages for the proper use and management of water and, hopefully, contribute to the cultivation of environmental literate and responsible citizens.
The exhibition was organized in parallel in the two countries, between April - May 2019 in the context of the 2019 World Water Day, themed "Leave no-one behind". It total, the exhibition that has been seen by more than 2,200 visitors, including families, students and teachers.
This exhibition is the result of the collaboration of two universities (University of Western Attica & University of Athens), one governmental agency(Għajn National Water Conservation Awareness Centre of Malta) and two non-governmental agencies (MIO-ECSDEand GWP-Med). Long-term cooperation between them is expected to grow further in the future.
