It brings together our experiences from more than 200 schools in 7 countries.

Please join the Consortium for the following events:

• Blue Schools 2.0: Closing the cycle to reach SDG6
  WASH in institutions is an integral part of Sustainable Development Goal #6.  In addition to the methods developed by the Wash in Schools (WINS) community of practice, the Blue School concept is a promising approach to raise children’s awareness about the link between water, waste, food and the environment.  Blue Schools has included a school garden to show relationships between food production and an efficient management of water; and the Blue Schools 2.0 version adds focus on waste, watershed and land management practices and also aims to inform and inspire children about professions in the water sector.
