Wateracy is a European project that seeks to raise awareness among young people about water as a basic human right and to strengthen their role in civic and democratic life through environmental and digital education. The initiative is implemented through the Erasmus+ programme under Key Action 2 – Cooperation Partnerships in the field of Youth.
The project takes on an urgent and timely challenge: many young people are disconnected from decisions and conversations about water access, despite being directly affected by its scarcity, pollution, or privatisation. Through a series of educational tools and civic spaces, Wateracy aims to create meaningful learning experiences that help youth understand, engage with, and act on water-related issues in their communities.
The project is led by EIVA and supported by five partner associations with complementary set of expertise.
