World Water Day Event Celebration

EarthEcho International celebrates the beginning of our annual EarthEcho Water Challenge on March 22nd to coincide with the United Nations World Water Day. EarthEcho’s Water Challenge partners and Water Challenge Ambassadors across the world connect with their local water resources through water quality testing, conservation activities, and community education events. 

This year EarthEcho International has worked with partners across Spain to create a day of exploration, learning, and celebration of “Solving Water.” On Tuesday, March 22, 2022 participating schools will explore the importance of water resources through activities hosted by water industry professionals, conservation organizations, and EarthEcho’s inaugural team of Water Challenge Ambassadors based in Catalonia. Guest speakers for this event include Philippe Cousteau, EarthEcho International Founder and Pep Guardiola, Football Manager of Premier League Club Manchester City. At this event, participants will engage in hands-on activities within the CosmoCaixa Museum and conclude this event with an opportunity to implement the EarthEcho Water Challenge program within their community.

In honor of World Water Day, EarthEcho’s Water Challenge Ambassadors, a network of young leaders across the country, will lead a series of community-based water monitoring and community engagement events
