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 in Scotland, and from 1-5 July in England and Wales, but you can organise Water Week activities whenever works best in your school.

New teaching resources will be online at the end of April, but please feel free to use any of the 2012 resources between now and then.

Use our guide to help plan Water Week 2013 at your school.
