Oxfam Water Week gives young people the opportunity to learn about global issues, develop their skills and values as active global citizens, and make a difference to the world. As they learn about water vulnerability, students are inspired take action.

Oxfam Water Week 2013 takes place from 3-7 June 2013 in Scotland, and from 1-5 July in England and Wales, but you can organise Water Week activities whenever works best in your school.

Use our teaching resources, video clips and activities to explore how a lack of access to water affects people around the world.
