Educating
Title:towards a sustainable future
Subtitle:
Since 2000, the Swarovski Waterschool has educated children and communities on sustainable water use, helping to safeguard the availability of clean water and support the health and wellbeing of people and the planet. In India, this program is especially crucial as the country is experiencing a water crisis due to changing weather patterns, repeated droughts, and an over-extraction of groundwater.
To help solve this water crisis and to reach out to more students, Swarovski Waterschool and its implementing partner WWF India have teamed up with Mission Paani, a nationwide initiative focused on protecting India’s water resources and changing attitudes and behaviors to improve the efficiency of water use. Swarovski Waterschool is providing its local Waterschool curriculum to Mission Paani to be shared in thousands of schools across India to educate children about their relationship with the environment, specifically water, and how human behaviors have both negative and positive impacts on the natural world. By encouraging students to understand the water-related problems facing environments like wetlands and rivers, and how this effects their communities, they can begin to adopt sustainable habits that could become the norm for future generations.
“We need to make people and children understand that water is a precious element.”
– Ravi Singh, Secretary General and CEO of WWF India

Title:Vzorčne vasi
Subtitle:
Še ena aktivnost iz programa Swarovski Waterschool v Indiji je podpiranje vzorčnih vasi. V projekt je vključenih že 10 vzorčnih vasi, kjer izobraževanje ni osredotočeno le na šolarje, ampak so vanj vključeni tudi lokalni kmetovalci. Več kot 800 kmetovalcev je bilo usposobljenih za različne načine ohranjanja voda, pa tudi iz higienskih razmer in trajnostnega kmetijstva, kar vodi v zmanjšanje nesmotrne porabe vode in uporabe škodljivih kemikalij (pesticidi in gnojila) na obdelovalnih površinah. Cilj usposabljanj je, da kmetovalci spoznajo, kako trajnostne prakse ne le koristijo okolju, ampak vodijo tudi k rodovitnejšim letinam.
Swarovski Waterschool je izboljšal tudi stanje na področju vodnih in sanitarnih razmer, tako da je zagotovil popravilo ročnih vodnih črpalk, ki so v lasti države in so ključni vir sveže vode na vaseh, in omogočil izgradnjo greznic za zmanjšanje odpadnih voda in drugih tekočih odpadkov. Vsi ti napori so izboljšali kakovost pitne vode v 1.500 gospodinjstvih.
Swarovski Waterschool verjame, da bo nadaljnje sodelovanje s šolarji in kmetovalci v Indiji prineslo preobrat v krizi z vodnimi viri in ustvarilo bolj zdravo in obnovljivo okolje za vse prihodnje generacije.
