Waterlution's 20 Year Holiday Countdown of Memorie

Waterlution's 20 Year Holiday Countdown of Memories of Years Past continues with memories of our workshops developing, and the incredible group of individuals, leaders and networks growing. Local hubs were established in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal and Future of Water workshops were continuing to take place between 2006-2009. Amazing individuals came forward to become Associates - all of whom continue to excel with exceptional careers today in water and related fields.
Au fur et à mesure que les ateliers de Waterlution se développaient, l'incroyable groupe d'individus, de dirigeants et de réseaux s'est également développé. Des "hubs" locaux ont été créés à Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto et Montréal et des ateliers sur l'avenir de l'eau se sont poursuivis entre 2006 et 2009. Des personnes extraordinaires se sont proposées pour devenir associés – et tous continuent aujourd’hui d’exceller dans des carrières exceptionnelles, dans le domaine de l’eau et dans des domaines connexes.

Waterlution's 20 Year Holiday Countdown of Memorie

Waterlution's 20 Year Holiday Countdown of Memories of Years Past... what a journey going down memory lane, seeing the faces, places and of course water bodies and water in many different forms that Waterlution has had the honour of working on over the last 20 years.
In 2003 and 2004, Waterlution was finding its early way. Karen and Tatiana were already growing their network and looking at experiential ways to engage children and youth in water programming while at the same time developing workshop models for cross-sector dialogue and collaboration. The early years started with school workshops and the precursor to WILs "The Future of Water" Workshops series, which started in Alberta and Ontario and then moved to many communities, urban, rural, some remote.

Sign your class up for UNITY, a youth-centric project that invited an Indigenous artist to work in-person as a resident artist within high schools from Manitoba, Quebec, British Columbia, Ontario and Nova Scotia. In the workshops (both in-person and virtual options), students engage with knowledge surrounding traditional art forms. Additionally, they will be invited to explore their own creative side by taking part in an artistic interactive activity.

Gabi Holanda is a multi-artist, researcher and art

Gabi Holanda is a multi-artist, researcher and art educator, and works in different productions in dance, theater and audiovisual, investigating in her creative processes the approximation between performance and ecology, the intertwining of artistic languages and composition strategies situated in the place. The artist is the creator of Sopro d’Água (Breath of Water), a performance project in which, through compositions in eco-performance, photo performance and contemporary dance, she transposes the human aquatic and environmental dimension, going from ancestral memories to the urgency of the water issue. With this show, she traveled through several festivals and received awards as best dramaturgy of the body, Light Design and Costume (XVI Amazon Theater Festival, 2022), as well as the best dancer (26th Festival Janeiro de Grandes Espetáculos, 2019).

"Snow has been covering the ground since the end of October in Kuujjuaq-- it's now all white and the sun sets at around 3:20pm, before the end of classes," Laurence @lauethier reports from the largest northern village in the Nunavik region of Quebec, where our current UNITY project is happening.

It's now too icy to risk boating in Kuujjuaq where @lau_ethier is spending time working on the UNITY project. But Laurence did have the chance to go boating before it got too cold, and went as far out until land was no longer visible.

Laurence reports from the site of our current UNITY project, Kuujjuaq, that she saw the Northern Lights last week, but didn't get a good shot of it. To know if there's a good chance of Northern Lights, there needs to be a clear sky, crisp air and KP index has to be over 2.

Desde que iniciamos nossas ações no Brasil em 20

Desde que iniciamos nossas ações no Brasil em 2017, ficou evidente para nós que o trabalho com educação precisa andar associado aos processos de inovação. Apesar dessa consciência, toma tempo, disposição e parcerias certas para fazer com que projetos sólidos nasçam e gerem resultados.
Quando somamos força com o @institutoigua e @iguasaneamento para pilotar um programa de inovação colaborativa focado em WASH e Clima no Brasil, sonhávamos em levar para territórios e comunidades uma visão transparente sobre sistemas e água que gerem ação local.
No Rio de Janeiro, tivemos os primeiros resultados do Passos D'água, programa que nos enche de gás e motivação para transformar o ensino regular no Brasil através de inovação para água e clima.
Você pode checar todos os resultados do programa no nosso relatório, disponível em waterlution.org/brasil
