Earthwatch is excited to deliver the Swarovski Foundation Waterschool Australia program to improve water literacy and student empowerment outcomes for schools and their local communities. Throughout the school year, participants will work through four phases to become water ambassadors and environmental leaders.  

First, they will conduct research and apply critical thinking to understand the issue in its full complexity – and grasp the behavioral change and action required to address it.  

Then, schools will connect with Traditional Custodians of the land to explore the value of water through First Nations perspective, and further broaden their understanding by speaking with local environmental organisations and community mentors.  

Armed with knowledge, they will then develop workshops for other students to reflect on what they have learned and inspire them to transform ideas into action.  

Finally, program participants will become leaders, encouraging others to follow their example, while setting and reaching goals to create positive impact in their school, household, and wider community.

Earthwatch will support schools and empower students through virtual education, workshop planning support, local community connections, and events to ensure our young Australians are encouraged to stand up for their futures, and for the planet.
