Our learning programme all takes the equivalent of one day of learning, typically split into two sessions over two days. The first module will educate you on the water crisis, the second about the importance of water-saving and the third will empower you with actionable ways to make a difference. The entire course is driven by research and it’s both accessible and action-oriented.

Our approach

Water literacy is incredibly important and the course content is driven by research and decades of expertise from a range of leading industry groups. But, we have put great effort into making the style of learning accessible, interactive and action-oriented. To become water literate, learners will need to complete an online accreditation form, demonstrating their knowledge and outlining the actions they will take – both as individual change-makers at home and as group change-makers in the workplace or community.

 

We believe you will graduate with your water literacy accreditation, feeling inspired, motivated and ready to spread the message. This programme is taught live and has set dates, but it’s up to you whether you would rather book onto an online or an in-person course. The first 2000 places are fully-funded too, so this is a great chance to learn and be a part of a vital environmental movement.
