Water Week Think Resources

Help pupils think critically about addressing water vulnerability

You're welcome to use this resource from Oxfam Water Week 2012. New resources for 2013 will be available in April.

These resources help pupils to:

Understand the short and long term work that Oxfam does to help with a specific focus on Niger
Understand how fundraising and campaigning by Oxfam supporters contributes to this work in Niger and elsewhere
Think critically about the impact of short-term and long-term action, and discuss what action they want to take

They are designed to be delivered as a part of Oxfam's Water Week.
