Foundations of Change: The Project WET Workshop

Sunlight refracts through the clear moving water of a natural river stream.

On August 3 and 4, Planning Ahead and the City of Durham Environmental & Street Services welcomed educators and community leaders for a Project WET professional development workshop featuring Foundations of Water Literacy and Climate and Water.

Through interactive activities, thoughtful discussions, and hands-on learning, participants explored creative ways to strengthen water and climate literacy in the communities they serve. At the conclusion of the workshop, 22 participants received certificates recognizing their completion of the training.

We were also grateful to hear one participant share:

“The workshop was great and thoughtfully planned, which came through in the details.”

Thank you to everyone who brought their curiosity, experience, and enthusiasm into the room. Your participation helped make this workshop a success, and we look forward to seeing how you use these resources to inspire learning and action.

Because water connects us all, and every community deserves the knowledge and tools to prepare for a changing climate.
