Using a unique, hands-on approach, Water Docs @ School brings young people into a close relationship with water, building their understanding of water systems and instilling a passion for water stewardship.

Water Docs @ School Action Projects is a seven-month learning and action program for Ontario Grade 8 students, delivered through a partnership between Ecologos and Learning for a Sustainable Future. This completely cost free
program has been used successfully at schools across the province and
praised by teachers for:

• delivering the entire Ontario curriculum on water

• cultivating a deep caring for the environment

• developing skills in leadership, team-building, project management and filmmaking

Watch the video below, in which two teachers from Brookside Public School in Scarborough discuss their experiences with the Water Docs @ School Action Projects program.
