(chinadaily.com.cn) Updated: 2016-03-07 16:59

With the support of Nestlé, WET Foundation, a well-known non-profit water education organization, has come to China with 14 water education interactive installations. It will join hands with Shanghai Extracurricular Activity Office Environmental Theme Park of Suzhou River Mengqing Garden, the first flowing water garden in Shanghai, and Nestlé Waters, a healthy drinking water expert, in the special celebration for 2016 World Water Day. The exhibition for Together4Water WET installations is open mainly to young people of 8 to 18 years old from March 12th to 22nd at Mengqing Garden.

Interactive installations of the WET Together4Water itinerant exhibition reproduces the most used water education activities worldwide with mini devices. The Magical Trip device will help kids and their parents get to know about water circulation. The self-made and easy-to-use Water Olympics device will unveil the mysterious water. The all-movable and multiple-sensory-operational One Water Drop in the Bucket and Small Action for Big Change enable people to know the scarcity of water resources and how to properly manage it.

The Together4Water WET exhibition will bring numerous young people new experience. In response to Water and Work, the UN's theme, Shanghai Little Practitioner will also teach a water song Together4Water with investigation for different workers in Shanghai.

"It is only a form of education to see the exhibition for interactive installations, propagandize water saving and protect water resource." As is explained by Mrs. Zou Hong, the head of Shanghai Extracurricular Activity Office, visitors will get WET brochures here. It is a set of teaching materials jointly compiled by nearly a hundred of water resource experts and educators all around the world. In China region, it was compiled as Project WET Water Resource Education Project Curriculum Guide and Handbook (the teacher and student versions), which collects American curricula and, based on the local characteristics, presents water-related activities suitable for 8- to 18-year-old students in 14 items from 3 chapters, including the chemical and physical properties of water, quantity and quality, ecosystem and management strategy. Based on exploration tasks, students can still continue to complete them after participating in this activity.

"Creating Shared Value" is the cornerstone for Nestlé's sustainable operation principle, especially in water management, nutrition and agricultural community development. As is stated by Mr David Saudan, president for the water business of Nestlé's Greater China Region, water resource has become a scarce resource. He said, as a pioneer for the global water business, Nestlé focuses on the environmental protection concept in its business while having always been paying attention to the education about water resource. It isn't rarely seen that companies take the lead to introduce and provide water education public welfare programs suitable for the local regions. In the long run, it is a win-win situation for both responsible enterprises and the public which need resource. I believe this Mengqing Garden itinerant exhibition will further help us bring globally leading water education to Chinese families, thus helping children grow and develop better.

Founded in 1984 and headquartered in Bozeman, Montana, the USA, Project WET (with its full name as Water Education for Teachers), is the first non-government organization that is aimed at education on water all around the world. It has launched its activities across more than 60 countries. Project WET envision a world in which action-oriented education enables every child to understand and value water, ensuring a sustainable future. Nestle Waters provides supports including funding to project development and implementation, after establishing a partnership with the Foundation in 1992. Since it became a pilot project at the beginning of 2010 in Shanghai, WET has been launched in more than 800 schools in China, covering at least 850,000 students.

Together4Water" Exhibition,the public welfare program, is free to visitors with tickets. For more details, please refer to Nestle Waters wechat account.
