Portal for Water Campaigners

Up to the present information on awareness raising campaigns in Europe is very scattered. However motivation for action towards sustainable water management can only arise when people know what to do, when they are provided with easily applicable solutions.

Aquawareness.eu facilitates action towards sustainable water management with one mouseclick. The internet portal informs on water campaigns and shows concrete examples and actions for everyone who is willing to take action but not knowing how to start. By sharing and exchanging knowledge and experience, already tested activities can be easily and quickly applied in other communities and regions. Networks can be enhanced and joint projects started by getting into contact through this portal. On the other hand, activities around Europe are being provided with high visibility, promoting their efforts way beyond their own community.

Campaigners who would like that their activity becomes part of the Aquawareness portal, can follow the instructions. Only restriction: The campaign should be already ongoing or finished and should take place in Europe (as defined by the Council of Europe).

The creation and development of the Aquawareness portal was enabled by the Coca Cola Foundation within EWP's "Empowering water-conscious citizens" programme. The EWP received great support from Women for Water Partnership in advising, supporting and providing feedback during the process of creation.
