Keeping the knowledge flowing
Title:
Good hygiene and sanitation have always been emphasized by the Swarovski Waterschool – an educational project, first established in 2000. But in 2020 the importance of handwashing took on even more significance as we all played our part to tackle Covid-19.
The current pandemic has brought with it many challenges, which have had major consequences for many of the Waterschool projects. Restrictions on gatherings have limited the reach of some of the Waterschool programs, while school closures meant activities in all seven countries had to cease.
But despite these issues, Swarovski Waterschool partners managed to find many new and innovative ways to continue spreading its message on the urgency and importance of preserving the world’s water resource.
We take a look at some of the admirable adaptability demonstrated by Swarovski Waterschool partners and find out how they’ve managed to keep educating children about the world’s most precious resource, during the pandemic.

Vodne zgodbe z vsega sveta
Title:
V Indiji, eni od držav, ki jo je najbolj prizadela epidemija Covid-19, so izkušeni učitelji programa Waterschool prek aplikacije WhatsApp nudili izobraževanje o koronavirusu in rabi vode. Zaprtje šol je bila hkrati tudi priložnost, da se nadaljujejo prizadevanja za izboljšanje oskrbe z vodo in sanitarnih objektov v šolah, ko so bili otroci doma.
V Avstriji smo ta čas izkoristili za konceptualizacijo novih idej za učbenike Waterschool in njihovo posodobitev. Poleg tega so jeseni potekale delavnice za učitelje, ki so se osredotočale na higieno, vodni odtis in mikroplastiko. Delavnice so bile izjemno priljubljene in so se zapolnile v samo nekaj dneh – nov rekord, ki odraža pomen sporočila programa Waterschool.
Delavnice so bile na voljo tudi na Tajskem in so obravnavale higieno, sanitarije in navodila za izdelavo lastnega mila.
Nazadnje smo zagotovili pomoč družinam, ki živijo v oddaljenih vaseh v Braziliji, kjer je bil vpliv epidemije Covid-19 še posebej uničujoč. Tem skupnostim smo zagotovili pakete hrane, da jim ni bilo treba tvegati okužbe z rednim potovanjem v najbližje mesto po zaloge.
