Project description

We drink water every day mainly with no reflection. But fresh water is a real treasure that needs to be protected. Water is an integral part of our environment and we cannot live without it, however, there are people who do not have access to fresh water.

Within the project "Water - its importance in pictures" we will collect pictures of people drinking at public spaces - at squares, in forest, from fountains... We will make a photo gallery of these pictures and publish it at websites www.sunnycampaign.net and www.yeenet.eu.
Pictures will be taken along summer in the European countries.

Selected pictures will be then printed in big format and during autumn exposed in following European cities moving from country to country: Armenia, Czech Republic and Albania.

Each exhibition will be accompanied by description of the water importance adapted to each country where the exhibition will be installed. Invited experts on environment and human rights will give a speech by the openings of the exhibition in each country. Final pictures and texts of the exhibition will be put at the web page of partner organisations. We will create a forum on the Sunny Campaign website in order to give a space for discussion of the topic.

Everybody is welcome to contribute with pictures from all over the World. Summer trips are great opportunity to do so. Water flows in our Universe and as environment it knows no border.
