This study presents the methodological framework for the development of the educational package “Water in the Mediterranean”. A brief evaluation based on the NAAEE Guidelines for Excellence for EE materials is included as well.
The educational package has been developed in order to facilitate the educator’s work in the closely related fields of Environmental Education, Education for Environment and Sustainability and Education for Sustainable Development in secondary education. The package is designed to be a flexible resource guide for the work of educators. It mainly aims at enhancing the students’ understanding on major issues related to water and at introducing them in a constructive manner to the complexity and interdependence of the various economic, social and environmental factors linked with water and sustainable development.
Furthermore, the material emphasizes the lifelong skills that enable learners to address environmental issues.

Production of educational material may enhance the responsible behavior of students and their ability to undertake action in favor of the environment and natural resources as individuals or as members of a team. Such educational material provides also the possibility of acquiring lifelong learning skills
