Water Literacy Project
Water education won’t stop at the summit!
Think about ways your team can be water ambassadors in your school and community and share your passion for this life giving resource with your school, community, province or even country by developing and implementing a unique water literacy project.
What exactly is water literacy, anyway? Well first of all, to call yourself water literate you must have the knowledge of where your water comes from and how your use of water affects the quality and quantity of this finite natural resource. After you attain this knowledge, it’s up to you and your team to put your words into action. Project possibilities are limitless: create a presentation, hold a water stewardship day, create a video, mentor younger students or build on an existing school project.

Some helpful items to keep in mind while you work on the project: who will be your audience, how will you know if your project has been a success, have you set achievable goals and timelines, and most importantly, is your team motivated and inspired by the project?
The sky is the limit! Be as creative as you wish!
