Synopsis

Slovenia’s sustainable strategy prioritises wastewater management and drinking water preparation, yet their interconnection in the light of climate change is often neglected. To address these challenges, different educational tools were prepared, using innovative technologies. Using a 360° camera, the processes at the Maribor Waterworks and Central Wastewater Treatment Plant were recorded, documenting water preparation, treatment and laboratory work. The materials were processed with H5P software to create interactive digital lessons in Moodle. These resources raise awareness about environmental health, focusing on wastewater management and safe drinking water practices. Ultimately, the educational tools enhance skills, expand knowledge, and supports efforts to protect the environment and combat climate change.
