AQUAPLAY is an interactive educational tool for students worldwide to explore the importance of water through creative colouring activities. AQUAPLAY brings together some of the best artworks submitted to our youth competition for "The Water We Want". Now, with AQUAPLAY, these drawings can be coloured online by children around the globe! While having fun, children will also learn why many students are inspired to champion water – the most precious resource for life – its biodiversity and heritage.
Drawings can be chosen from four water-related themes:
In the next phase of the project, we plan to add more drawings to each theme involving more water museums affiliated with the WAMU-NET network. Any museum will have the opportunity to submit artworks for consideration for inclusion in AQUAPLAY – thus giving greater international visibility to their own educational activities. Each drawing is credited with the name of the artwork's author and the museum that submitted it.
AQUAPLAY will be officially launched on 11 October at the 5th WAMU-NET International Conference in Porto and in a webinar scheduled for the end of October, which will also involve museums that cannot join us in Portugal.
If you are interested in submitting a drawing, please feel free to send us your expression of interest to: partnerships@watermuseums.net
If, on the other hand, you are only interested in using the AQUAPLAY platform in your educational activities, please let us know. We would love to have your feedback on the tool and its activities!
