Alison C. (Calgary)

The momentum in water stewardship is strong and growing amongst Calgary youth. The Ripple Effect Water Stewardship Project will closely follow the youth engagement initiatives of the Toronto-based Ripple Effect Project, which has shown proven successes over the past three years.

A committed Youth Advisory Group, aged 13-20, whose primary objective is water education and outreach, will be formed, and they will build their own capacity through adopting critical thinking and research skills, gaining knowledge on local and global water issues, and finding paths to solutions on these issues. Through building individual and group capacity, they also will build community capacity and understanding through outreach programs to schools, non-formal settings, and the general public.
