Representation
Permacultur is considered as an ecological
strategy, based on our ecological traditional
element water soil air energy and himan
administration.. The international congress of
Rio de Janaeiro in 1992 created the wish for a
worldwide sustainable development. The
international movement of permacultur thinks that
the definition of sustainability is only refering
to existing resources of the moment. The
permacultur movement does not confirm that this
is sufficient. We have to regenerate the natural
basic resources. This means that every project
creation should analyse the resources of water,
soil, air, energy and stabilze human organisation
and adminsitration and should pay atention to the
possibilities to create these resources.

Salvador da Bahia

• Waste-Water System for Salvador da Bahia with
  modern ecological technics.
• The regional authority of Salvador da Bahia,
  EMBASA, Brasil, will realize a proposal of an
  ultra-old project, of the 60ies of the passed
  century. Ocean and coast of Salvador, road, place
  of marriage and birth of wales, golfins, turtles
  will be destroid with consequences of worldwide
  character. The social consequences for the
  biggest part of population of very low income,
  who could earn a small money with its work on
  the beaches and lakes have neither been
  considered nor even thought about, nor have been
  the consequences for the trourist section.
  Salvadors rivers have already been completely
  poluted, stinking and stopped offering fish for
  people of poverty.
• Childrens Project e.V supports the public
  movement of Salvador to protect the biologiy of
  ocean and rivers for actual and futur
  generations. The development and realisation of
  ecological waste water treatments for Salvador
  needs an international involvement and a direct
  and effectove exchange with interested people,
  communities, universities of Germany and Brasil
  and the public movement of Salvador. Together we
  can stop the stupid distruction of the rivers and
  ocean due to not filtered water, and we can react
  with an innovative, well prepared and
  social-ecological correct proposal.

The Lake of Pituacu is totally poluted, like
other rivers of the city, too.

Engagement for Clean Water

• On a public assembly in Salvador at the end of
  September 2005 Prof. Moraes offered his
  competences, relationships and possibilites as a
  leading professor of the UFBA (Federal University
  of Bahia) of the technical section to stop the
  EMBASA s proposal juridically and replace by an
  alternative proposal. He asked for more help on
  international level, too.
• Childrens Project e.V suggests the
  participation of children and adolescences,
  according to 36, AGENDA 21, Rio de Janeiro
  1992, to realize an alternative proposal
  including approved modern ecological methods. On
  one side children and adolescents can learn about
  solutions for actual problems and can exchange
  their knowledge about possible steps with others
  of the same age in Salvador. On the other side
  new knowlegde of modern technologies for
  waste-water-cleaning can create futur solutions
  of global problem by exchange with Brasil.
• A cooreration with german and international
  companies can offer adequate solutions and above
  this can help young unemployed people in Germany
  and Brasil and give perspectives for a better
  futur.

Ecological Waste-Water-Treatment for Salvador

• The development of a modern system of cleaning
  waste water of the metropolitan city of Salvador
  special experiences and competence is needed. The
  responsible persons of the regional company
  (EMBASA) still insists that their proposal of
  1967 is competetive. They only did not calcualte
  the distruction of rivers, ocean and beaches. The
  truth is that the directory does obviously not
  respect any social ecological economical
  question.
• The NGO Childrens Project shows the simplicity
  of modern cleaning sistems combined with re-use
  of water, energy-production and positive social
  ecological ecomical results for the city of
  Salvador. Supporting the public movement of
  Salvador against the rediculas proposal of the
  EMBASA, the ngo Childrens Project responds with
  workshops and seminaries about the possibbilites
  of modern technics. The first team of adolescents
  returned already from their education about
  ecological systems from Rio de Janeiro with a
  huge knowlegde and a lot of experiences. They
  did already start to pass their new technics to
  other young interested people and got even more
  help. The architect, Tony Anderson, Denmark, has
  been supporting them since March 2006.

Whole quarters of cities can get ecological
sistems with all their beneficial efects. In
Denmarc happened, in Salvador the first sistems
will be installed soon.

Support of one of the fathers of the ecological
movements, Tony Anderson, Architect of Kopenhavn,
Denmark

• Tony Anderson, Denmark, visited the city of
  Salvador to help for the implantation of
  alternative sistems, supporting the life of the
  rivers, beaches and the ocean. This means he
  transfered an interntional knowledge of systems
  that clean used water until 99 . Above this that
  water can be re-used afterwards and like this
  reduce the use of drinking water. (look at BILAG
  8, page 9) He was active in Salvador
• Time 16.-23. Marco 2006,
• Theme agua-esgoto-energia no Salvador e nas
  favelas
• for politics, technicians, professores, students,
  adolescents searching professionalization and
  people interested. Based on wide experiences of
  worldwide mordern systems of the new century,
  until India, Tony was disposal to discuss
  sustainable solutions for Salvador. He also
  offered a workshop about the implantation of the
  first ecological waste-water-cleaning system in
  the quarter of Pituacu. All participants could
  learn about a technology supporting life with
  sustainable cosmopolitan solutions. Problably
  Tony will come back to Salvador in October 205
  already to discuss the results and futur
  projects.

Ecological Systems are more Economical

• All old cleaning systems show their weakness. The
  costs of stability and of material and energy are
  raising quickly. Above this the old systems
  polute instead of protect our natural and
  environmental resources. Due to this we have to
  create new water treatment systems and relate
  them to the administration of the actual users.
• This means that we have to develop systems who do
  not mixe the different type of waste water. Like
  this, the black water of toilets and the gray
  water of showers can not be mixed, also not with
  the rain water. We can prevent toxical
  substancies of human solids which is even more
  poluting than black water.
• (look at BILAG 8, page 9)

Agenda 21

• According to the strategy of the AGENDA 21, from
  Rio de Janeiro 1992, ouf systems have to consume
  less energy and material and have to re
  relationed to a controle and administration of
  the local user. We can develop an edcuation
  programm for local inhabitants to enable them to
  unterstand, create and implement ecological
  systems.
• This will raise the consciousness about
  ecological and sustainable development and will
  give experiences which can also be used for the
  administration of waste, sustainable nergy and
  the ecological food production etc. Its a
  possiblity to develop a systematic and structured
  learning-process.
• This system of waste-water-cleaning will help to
  raise the diversity of ecological systems and
  stabilize ecological systems of water, seas,
  rivers, beaches etc. Because the outcomming water
  can be used like a direct spring for this
  sistems. (look at BILAG 8, page 9.)
• This system will use much less drinking water and
  related to the production of purified water can
  be used as a spring for ground water.
• Combined with the production of bambu we can
  raise the quality of air, reduce erosion and can
  use a natural material which is much more
  resistent the PVC for tubes.

International Approved Technics

• According to the mentioned critics we propose a
  waste-water-cleaning system with plants, based on
  the technics developed worldwide as local
  decentralized systems.
• This means that every defined community has to
  get the possibility to implant these systems.
• As explicates these systems have to be defined in
  relation to the quality of waste-water
• Black water has to be treated in septic tanks and
  if wanted can be combined with energy-use by a
  biogas reactor and after that oxigenized in an
  biological drum. This purificated and sterilized
  water will enter a sery of root zones.
• 2. After the treatment in a filter with sand,
  the gray water, too, enters the root system. They
  can be constructed in two different types. One is
  the system called Camphill-System, which sends
  the water through a ventile on the ground of the
  bassin. This system has got the advantage of
  oxigenizing by the roots of the plants. . The
  other system, called Griffith-System, starts the
  treatment on the ground of the bassin. The water
  rizes and will be liberated on the top of the
  bassin. This system distributes the waste water
  in relation to the choosen plants. A combination
  of these two systems gives the opportunity of a
  big diversity of combined plants, which benefits
  the relations of absorbation of nutrients and
  minerals.

Permaculture created the best systems

• Its vital that these systems will not be poluted
  by chemical non biodegradabel chemics or
  pesticids and fungicids.
• 3. After these treatments with plants the water
  can get togehter with rainwater and like this
  participate the natural circling system of water.
• Another possibility will be a connection of this
  treated water with the production of fruits,
  combined with lakes and rivers for fish
  production and for irrigation of gardens with
  fruits and vegetables etc.
• This quality of water can be recycled for the
  sanitary systems, washing machines and perhaps
  even showers. At this stage the water still does
  not have drinking water quality.

Economia

• The instalation of these systems will not
  substitute the costs of old treatments systems
  like sewers, adminsitration of stations and
  treatment with plants.
• The advantage can be notices at the controle, the
  knowledge of the systems and the costs of
  funcioning will be reduced until 40 of the
  centralized systems. In Europe for example the
  price for drinking water raised up to 12 . This
  price is constituted with 6 for the treatment
  of water, more or less with 4 for the
  production of water and 2 for the local
  distribution.
• The consumption of water can be calculated with
  more or less 120 l per person in Europe,
  constituted with 8 l drinking water for nutritien
  and showers, more or less 25 l for toiletts and
  washing machines and more or less 80 l for
  cleaning, irrigation, car washing etc.
• Our case showed that 6 could be the value for
  the implantation of these systems. With normal
  conditions this still can be too much and
  probably combinado with an adequate education the
  costs can stay at about 20 of the costs of
  implantation and implementation of the system
  centralized due to the easier construction and
  less dependency of professional laboratories.
• The 4 2 for a production and distribution
  only will stay for 8 l of drinking water
  instead of 120 l of the old systems.

area of Vesterbro Kopenhaven, Dinamarca, -2-

• In relation to the 5 represented designs, the
  first (item A) is a general vision of the
  principal ecological projects in the region of
  Vesterbor in Kopenhaven. The explications will be
  found at the end of the top
• - Urban Renovation Center like a center for
  coordination for all activitiies in the region,
  the public sercies, activities of the private
  owners, inhabitants etc.- The centers establish,
  but still did not develop its a struggle about
  the influences between the organisations of the
  hinhabitants and the establishment of democracy.
• Originally the center had been formed in
  relationship with a forum, formed by the groups
  of inhabitants, which is called the Conceil of
  Representatives it envolvs members of the
  different groups of sections and the community,
  its a line of 6-9 groups established in the
  urban aldeias.
• - Lille Folkeparque is an area for researches of
  ecological urban renovation, development and a
  center of informations. Íts a house of the
  community by the groups of inhabitants, and of
  the differents projects about architectual
  systems, waste-water systems, plants, animals in
  urban areas will better the periods of
  renovations process. (item B). It was planned to
  start the funcionning at the end of 91.
• - City Farm Project for illustration of the
  systems producing alimentation combined with
  recreative and educative activities in the area.
• In relation to the entire area, different typs of
  recreation and cultural activities are planed
  (item C). Plan to start Jan.-92.

  the last years.
• - Separation of solid waste and disposal groupss
  Adubation of organic waste from domestic waste.

• - The Perma Cultur Bloc A recreative project,
  developed by the inhabitants and planed with a
  integrative ecological project Bioga and
  treatment of water by roots which produce oxigen,
  , low temperatures and active, passive solar
  heating, production of alimentation in green
  houses, adubation systems, trees and
  ....(arbustos) probably until 10-15 of
  production of alimentaton of about 5-6.000
  persons living there after the recreative
  process.(item D). Planed to start in -92/-93.
• - Perma-cultur agricultural project A production
  project of agricultural alimentation where about
  20 adultos e 8 criancas administram a 1 ha farm,
  20 kmo from the area of Versterbro. They plan
  the delivery of all alimentation for 60 70
  persons in a period of 8-9 years at an area of 3
  ha (item E). Was functioning for 4 years.
• All groups consist of inhabitants from the
  region, self-organized and with different public
  support. The entire area is the biggest slum in
  northern Europe, and since the fundation existe a
  big plan for an urban recreative process where
  the local persons are struggling to stay with
  better conditions. The realisation of these
  plans started in 92 and and had to stop for a
  period of about 10 years with costs about 100
  mio. US dollars a year. To try to controlate this
  situation, the inhabitant goups tried to seperate
  the administration about public decentralized
  services, the smallest groups working in the
  center of urban recreation.
• From the beginning about 6-9 urban aldeias
  organized themselves which should be the skelett,
  where the inhabitants control the projects the
  degree to aprimorate the rent level.

Sistemas Ecologicos de Limpeza dos Esgotos e
Reuso de Agua nas Escolas Públicas de Salvador
da Bahia

• The results of the last 12 month of the
  social-environmental movement in Salvador da
  Bahia show that the metropolitan entire city is
  in urgent need of Os resultados dos últimos 12
  mezes dos movimentos socio-ambientais no Salvador
  da Bahia mostram ecological waste-water cleaning
  systems instead of causing a social-ecological-eco
  nomical horror by non-treated waste-water or the
  implantotion of old systems. The development of
  ecological systems raises the possibilities of a
  cleaning degree until 99. Combinated with water
  re-use-systems more advantages can be gained like
  the reduction of running costs until 30 of the
  costs of old systems ( from 1970) and a reduction
  of the use of drinking water until 30 of the
  normal use. Above this the creation of fish can
  be combined with this systems and give costless
  food for the public shools kitchens. The limited
  public funds, too, but especially the
  low-income-population can be beneficed in short
  and long term dimension by the realisation of
  this sustainable development for Salvador.
• The principal material can be Bamboo. Bamboo
  grows a lot in Bahia. Created and treated
  ecologically the bamboo serves like a relatively
  cheap instrument against erusion and for
  reduction of Di-Carbonium. And the creation and
  treatment of ecological bamboo can bring the
  advantage at the working marktet and sustainable
  business. The planning, implantation and
  implementation of these systems at the public
  shools with bambu could above this develop
  professionalisation, work and business for the
  huge amount of young people (1 mio young people
  /yeasr) in Salvador who is searching
  professionalisation or work for their first time.

Ecological systems at schools give many benefits

• The implantation and implementation of pilot
  projects transfers and multiplicates the
  knowledge about planning and functioning of the
  ecological systems and wil give new actual
  details for better similar futur projects. The
  biggest part of Salvadors population are children
  and adolescents of the low income class. A
  minority of Salvadors population has already got
  a basic knowledge about the ecological systems.
  We found them at Universitiees and environmental
  organisations. This means it would be well done
  to plan together with environmental activists,
  students, professors and pupils of public schools
  above an age about 14 years. Like this all
  studenst of public schools can develop a basic
  ecological knowledge and can have the advantages
  of ecological waste- and re-use of water systems.
  Above this the creation of fish in every school,
  by this new systems, can improve a lot the
  alimentation which very often is the only one,
  poor students get during the day.

15
Social-ecological Efect

• The social-ecological-economical efect of the
  realisation of the cleaning and re-use of water
  will influence relatively rapidly the
  consciousnes of the entire low-income population.
  The low income population will desire the
  instalation of similar systems at her own houses.
  Like this probably the development of an
  democratic sustainable citizenship which normally
  does not exist in poor areas, will get faster.
• In the praxis is would be interesting to offer
  public presentations for directories and
  professors of public schools. During the
  presentations they can already develop and
  register their own interest in these new systems.
  The inicial team will choose the schools of the
  highest interest anf form first little groups of
  about 10 to 20 participantes of every school.
  They will participate the first theoretic and
  practical workshops. These groups will form
  sub-groups of about 5 persons with a democratic,
  creative, administrative student profile. Two
  persons of every group have to have a basic
  knowledge of alternative systems. They will
  create and exchange their first ideas and
  continuate the planning and implantation of their
  own systems. They also will controle the
  functioning and be responsible for the execution
  of every reperation needed.
• Like this we can forme semi-professional groups
  and develop the professionalisation during
  further school projects where they also can act
  as multiplicators. The architect, Tony Anderson,
  specialist of ecological systems, did already
  impression the public in Salvador by his
  presentations and meetings with responsable
  people in March 2006 about futur possiblities of
  the city and offered to accopany the groups by
  his temporary visits and by the internet
  possibilities.
• The planning, implantation, implementation and
  financing of the prosses for the development of
  sustainable systems for Salvador can be done in
  phases, means every scholar project can be
  created like one phase. Like this the results of
  the executed projects can influence to even
  better futur projects. The multiplicators will
  grow and with them the possiblitiies of
  sustainable development for the enteire city.
• The didactic material can be technical equipment
  as foto and video cameras, slide-projectors,
  boards, a base of computers with adequate modern
  systems, bookds and actual journals, material for
  design, administration and relatories.
• The workshops can widen school lessons as
  physics, chemics, biology, portuguese and
  environsments and combine the theorical education
  with practical experiences.

16
Methology

• An inicial group of 20 adolescentes of extreme
  poverty enter the intensive training about the
  different types, creation and use of bamboo. They
  will be accompanied by thecnical students to
  start the planning of a waste-water-cleaning
  systems and re-use of water with plants.
• Childrens Project do Brasil offers some land and
  various possibilities to experiment the
  implantation and implementation of these systems.
  The inicial group of Salvador will travel to the
  region of Conde, Litoral do orte, participating a
  workshop which can create the first works for
  contructions with bamboo. The first student can
  accompny them and prepare the first waste water
  cleaning systems with bamboo and plants. The
  Architect, Tony Anderson, who brought the
  knowledge about these systems to Salvador in
  March this year, will stay disposal and
  supervision the entire process by internet and
  temporary visits.
• Until October this year, we expect a
  semi-professional level of the first team, who
  can already transfer their knowledge to other
  interested young people, especially for students
  of poor families of the public schools of
  Salvador and other quarters. , Like this we can
  get well developed results relatively quickly,
  which means we can create groups of
  bamboo-creations for
• Ecological plantation and treatment of bamboo,
• Creativity of art and gardens with bamboo,
• Production of furnitures and constructions with
  bamboo,
• Creation, implantation and implementation of
  waste water systems with bamboo.
• After that basic courses they can be trained for
  the administration of a business with bamboo.
  Like this the first young people of poverty can
  get ready for the installation of various systems
  and probably for the foundation of their own
  micro-business with bamboo.

17
ACTIVITIES
An effective education has to respect the actual
situation of adolescents of the public schools.
Theorical lessons always have to be planned with
an exchange of living cultural lessons. This will
facilitate the dejestion of the new knowledge,
the atention and the desire to realize their
ideas. The principles of pedagogical
philosophies of Freire, Montessouri, Makarenko,
Pestalotzi, Silva, Freineit, Piaget can help in
practice.

• Workshops Groups of adolescents can use the
  space of Childrens Project do Brasil for a
  special training.
• Ecology Coursrs of simple until proffessional
  level to raise their general and special
  ecological capacity.
• Bamboo Starting with a training about the
  diversity of bamboo, creation, treatment and
  development of art projects or gardening,
  construction and waste-water-cleaning systems,
  the bamboo will turn into an instrumento to
  create micro business and a wide working market.
• Alimentation The base for a good development
  is a well balanced nutrition. During the courses
  and workshops the young people can get snacks and
  other nutrition possibilities as well as
  participate health cooking lessons.
• Yoga and Meditation Courses of different
  levels, collective and individual training.
• Ecological journeis On horses back, with a guide
  of the region the participants have the
  oportunity to know beautifull places and wll
  preserved atlantic forest of the region. We offer
  trips of half an hour until day trips. Capoeira
  This sport, a global cultural patrimonia of
  Bahia, will be used as a working instrument to
  better the realtionships among the groups, the
  differences the espectations, the felxibility and
  limits of discipline.
• Afro-Dança Afro and Coreografies These
  offers enable the establishment and involvement
  with the afro-brasilian cultur and is a very good
  possibility for body expression. In Europe afro
  dance is very ofthen used as a therapeutical
  instrument.

• Percussion The afro-brasiian rythms turned
  famous around the world. The students can learn
  all drums from the beginning until professional
  level. Percussion is considered as a fenominal
  instrument to form personal structures.
• Hospedage The Fazenda de Iemanjá, in Conde
  offeres its natural beautiness and its art
  Chalets, created by young people, professionals
  and the help of visitors. All courses can be
  realised in a form of an intensive workshos,
  starting at the Fazenda with bamboo material.

History
Childrens Project e.V., benefits organisaton,
registred in 26131 Oldenburg, Germany, VR 2074,
founded in 1993 due to the inacceptable situation
of children, adolescents, women and the entire
nature of our planet. The NGO Childrens Project
e.V. Concentrated on sustainable development
according to the AGENDA 21. Development of
perspectives together with the participants of
cultural, ecological, economical projects and
promote the preservation of nature as well as
auto-sustainable projects with native groups,
less priviledged NGOs of the regions,
governments, business men, etc. Childrens
Project e.V. Concentrated above all on public
relations to inform and find partners to the
favour of these projects. Childrens Project do
Brasil was co-founded at the beginning of 2001and
legalized on 29 de Setembro 2003. Childrens
Project do Brasil follows the realisation of the
same objectives as Childrens Project e.V.,
Germany, but remains self-responsible and
develops its independency. Together they try to
sentify the self-development of children and
adolescents less priviledged, looking for local
partners to realize the AGENDA 21.
