Blue Schools Kit

The Blue Schools Kit was published in 2018 as a collaboration between the external page Swiss Water & Sanitation Consortium and external page Eawag. 

The Blue Schools Kit contains reference materials for school authorities and teachers to introduce games, experiments, creative activities and excursions that help children learn about water and the environment.

The Blue Schools Kit guides education authorities, school stakeholders and civil society organisations to work with upper primary and secondary school students to transform their schools into Blue Schools through activities such as gardening and waste management.

The Kit is freely available in English, French and Spanish, external page here and includes the following:
