C-Project - Task 7, Communication

Our meetings will most likely take place on Tuesday or Friday evening, the exact time has yet to be agreed. Since Bosnia does not have and Turkey only 2 hours time difference, it will be easier to find an appointment. While talking to each other and exchanging information, we would like to see each other, which is why we want to try our first meeting via whatsapp. Emina will contact her relatives in Bosnia and I will contact my acquaintances in Turkey and we will fix an appointment with them.
The goal of the first meeting is a first mutual getting to know each other and we want cleary explain our project. If there's enough time we would like to say and hear what everyone is expecting and how we can reach that step by step. In the upcoming meetings we will then look at everything more precisely and discuss what the further steps are, what changed since the last meeting etc.

C-Project - Task 5, Vision & Imagination

I imagine that with our project we will gain a lot of knowledge about tap water, which we can then share with other people. Insights into the water situation from other cultures in different countries will help us to recognize the differences in between. Our project will inspire people to think more about our precious tap water and makes us appreciate our situation more. We will collect so much information, so that we will be perfectly informed. The project will hopefully bring us a lot of experience in terms of collaboration. I also think that this project will bring us many more positive aspects, which we will find in the course of the project.

C-Project - Task 3, Concept for tap water in different countries

Concept for tap water in different countries

 

Names of collaboration team members:
Team from Switzerland: Emina & Sandrina
Team from Turkey: acquaintance of Sandrina 
Team from Bosnia: relatives of Emina

Our research question:

Main question: How do people in other countries have to deal with tap water compared to Switzerland?

Refined questions:

  • How is the quality of tap water?
  • How do they get the water?
  • Can you drink the tap water in this country? Why? Why not?
  • How is the tap water system in different countries?
  • For what is tap water used in each country?
  • What about the costs and transport of tap water?

Our answers:

  • Exchange with the people from other countries
  • Have the water analyzed in a labor 
  • Research in the internet
  • Check it in our everyday life (How do we have to deal with tap water?)

Goal: We want to design our project appealing and creative. It should contain interesting insights that appeal to people. We also want to learn as much as possible from this experience

C-Project - Task 1, Collaboration partners

Project idea: Tap water in different countries 

Collaboration: Emina will talk to her relatives in Bosnia about this and Sandrina will make contact with acquaintances in Turkey. The people there (in Bosnia and Turkey) have already given their consent. We are looking forward to it. 

AdditionallyWe are often in these two countries, which is why we plan to do some tests there and even take water with us and contact a laboratory in Switzerland to have the water analyzed.

 

Tap water in different countries

Project: Tap water (around the world)

Team: Emina Murtic und Sandrina Nauer

Effects:

We want to draw people’s attention to how easily / hard some people have access to drinking water and how people in different countries (have to) deal with (tap) water etc.

Which method do we want to use?

  • Interview with people from other countries
  • Survey in the street/internet how people think about this topic
  • Research in the internet
  • Check it in our everyday life (How do we have to deal with tap (water)

Strategy:

We will apply the above methods, document everything accurately and hopefully achieve our desired goals.

Audience:

Everyone that is interested.
