In this course, we provide you with an introduction to the Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation and all its related targets aiming to achieve the goal by the year 2030. We will also learn about how the United Nations, civil society, the private sector and governments work both independently and interdependently on this issue. We will be “visiting” countries such as Somalia, the U.S., India, Qatar, Palestine, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Chile to get a better understanding of the very different challenges each country faces. We will also do many fun exercises to help you analyze the knowledge you have gained, link theory to examples, and partake in the fight for water rights for all. Finally, we will look at what YOU can do to make a difference for Goal 6!
What’s the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning... Take a sip of water? Rush to the bathroom to use the toilet or shower? Prepare your morning tea or coffee?
Chances are MOST of the things related to your morning routine (and any point of your day) is related to water. Have you ever experienced having your home’s water supply cut off? Imagine having to walk hours to get a few liters of clean water every day. Imagine you didn’t have a plumbing system in your school, so you had to pee, poop and everything else in between out in the open.
Find out why water is such a big issue today and how YOU can make a difference in other people’s lives who are on the path to achieving Goal#6.
