La Swarovski Waterschool siempre ha hecho hincapié en la buena higiene y el saneamiento, un proyecto educativo que surgió en el 2000. Pero a partir del 2020, la importancia del lavado de manos cobró aún más importancia, ya que todos jugamos un papel crucial a la hora de hacerle frente a la COVID-19.
La pandemia actual ha traído consigo muchos desafíos, los cuales han tenido consecuencias importantes para muchos de los proyectos de la Waterschool. Las restricciones de las reuniones han limitado el alcance de algunos de los programas de la Waterschool, mientras que el cierre de las escuelas se tradujo en un cese de actividad en los siete países.
Sin embargo, a pesar de estos problemas, los socios de la Swarovski Waterschool han logrado encontrar numerosas e innovadoras formas de seguir difundiendo su mensaje sobre la urgencia e importancia de preservar los recursos hídricos de nuestro planeta.
Echemos un vistazo a la admirable capacidad de adaptación demostradas por algunos de los socios de la Swarovski Waterschool y descubramos cómo se las han arreglado para seguir formando a los niños durante la pandemia acerca del recurso más preciado del planeta.

Water stories from across the world
Title:
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 autumn. 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 travelling into the nearest city for supplies.
