Water Cloud

At its 5th International Conference in Porto (October 2024), the Global Network of Water Museums proudly launched an ambitious initiative: the creation of Water Cloud, an online repository dedicated to water education. This platform will offer students, teachers, and museum professionals a single, easy-to-access space for water education resources, tools, and best practices.

Aligned with WAMU-NET’s commitment to water sustainability education and awareness, as outlined in UNESCO-IHP Resolution XXIII-5 (2018), this project reflects our members’ leadership in innovative educational practices at local, regional, and national levels. As a network, we decided to create an international platform to share these resources. For the first time, water museums’ learning resources will be curated and organised into a single, easily navigable platform.

To implement this vision, WAMU-NET convened an Education Working Group throughout 2024. In May, we issued a call for proposals to identify the initial contributors, selecting six museums to present their educational tools during a dynamic session at our Porto conference. If you were not able to join us, you can watch the session recordings here. 

These vibrant discussions showcased diverse approaches to water education and led to collectively choosing the project's title: Water Cloud: Resources for Inclusive Sustainable Futures.

As we work toward building the Water Cloud digital platform, this page features initial examples of the good practices we aim to include in the final repository.
