Approach:

1. Research: The project will start with research on the wastewater treatment process, resource recovery, and the latest technologies and best practices for wastewater treatment.

2. Site visit: The project team will visit a wastewater treatment facility to document the process and collect data. This will serve as the primary source for the project's content.

3. Content creation: The project will use various media, such as videos, infographics, and written content, to showcase the wastewater treatment process and its potential for resource recovery.

 

Potential collaborators:

1.Wastewater treatment facilities: Wastewater treatment facilities can provide access to the treatment process and data for the project.

2. Industry experts: Industry experts can provide insight into the latest technologies and best practices for wastewater treatment and resource recovery.

3. Local government: The local government can provide support for the project and help promote it to the community.

4. NGOs: Non-governmental organizations that work on environmental issues can provide expertise and resources for the project.

 

Expected outcome:

The project aims to increase public awareness of the importance of proper wastewater treatment and resource recovery. By showcasing the wastewater treatment process and its potential for resource recovery, the project hopes to promote sustainable practices and contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable future.

Experts Comment via Interview, Rudolf Isenschmied

Working material:
Laptop, Internetzugang

Time management:
Due to the problem of communication with Rudolf (No internet) it's hard to create proper timetable. My work schedule is based on the requierement of publishing the project around the beginning of May. The exact Timetable looks something like this:
14.03.23 - Befterstep 3
04.04.23 - Befterstep 4
18.04.23 - Befterstep 5
09.05.23 - Beftersteps 6&7 -->  Latest publication of my project

Additional:
Workload Rudolf: Text regarding personal experience with the Penan
Workload Yuri: Interview, creating the project, organisation, etc.

Goal:
My goal is to bring the way of living from the Penan closer to the people. I want to show what connection these people have with the environment around them and show the differences between the lifestyles we're living.
