Håller kunskapen flödande
Titel:
God hygien och sanitet har alltid betonats av Swarovski Waterschool – ett utbildningsprojekt som först etablerades år 2000. Men år 2020 fick vikten av handtvätt ännu större betydelse då vi alla gjorde vår del för att bekämpa covid-19.
Den nuvarande pandemin har medfört många utmaningar, som har fått stora konsekvenser för många av Waterschool-projekten. Restriktioner för sammankomster har begränsat räckvidden för några av Waterschool-programmen, medan skolstängningar innebar att aktiviteter i alla sju länder var tvungna att upphöra.
Men trots dessa problem lyckades Swarovski Waterschools partners hitta många nya och innovativa sätt att fortsätta sprida sitt budskap om vikten och brådskan av att bevara världens vattenresurser.
Vi tar en titt på några av de beundransvärda anpassningar som Swarovski Waterschools partners har visat och får reda på hur de har lyckats fortsätta utbilda barn om världens mest värdefulla resurs under pandemin.

Water stories from across the world
Titel:
In India, one of the countries most affected by Covid-19, Waterschool master trainers utilized WhatsApp to provide training on the coronavirus and the water footprint. School closures also provided an opportunity to continue the effort to improve water facilities and sanitation in schools while the children were away.
In Austria, the time was used to conceptualize new ideas for the Waterschool class books and update them. Furthermore, teacher workshops concentrating on hygiene, water footprint and microplastics were conducted in the fall. The workshops proved to be incredibly popular and were fully booked within a couple of days – a new record, which reflects the significance of the Waterschool message.
Workshops were also offered in Thailand and covered hygiene, sanitation, and how to make your own soap.
Lastly, in Brazil – where the impact of Covid-19 has been particularly acute – support was provided for families living in remote villages. Food packages were provided for these communities, meaning that they didn’t have to risk infection by regularly traveling into the nearest city for supplies.
