Back for its third year, Oxfam Water Week gives 7-14 year olds the opportunity to learn about global issues and develop their skills and values as active global citizens. As they learn about water vulnerability, students are inspired take action.

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

Resources follow a 'Learn, Think, Act' sequence to enable pupils to gain an in-depth understanding of water vulnerability issues. See how these fit together in the Teachers' Overview.

Introduce your pupils to the idea that although water is a fundamental human right, many people have restricted access to it. Resources include a short video and slideshow which can be used for a whole-school assembly.
