School Program

2023 RUN FOR WATER

This year, we are celebrating 16 years of running for water! We are excited to invite all of our partner schools to join us in this special year. 

All funds raised from our partner school program will be going to Southern rural communities of Ethiopia which currently have no access to clean water. 

Here are some shortcuts to resources and information you may need for the 2023 campaign.

As always, thank you for your utmost dedication and passion to teach your students about global citizenship and the importance of social responsibility.

 

CURRICULUM

INSPIRING KIDS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES AND AROUND THE WORLD

Our curriculums are used by schools across the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland to help empower our youth as globally-minded citizens with power to create change.

  • Multi-Disciplinary

    The materials are organized around three central themes and can be administered and adapted in different ways. Our resources are designed in line with B.C.’s Prescribed Learning Outcomes and B.C.’s Performance Standards of Social Responsibility. Content and materials link across English Language, Arts, Social Studies, Science, and Health and Career Education.

  • Global Citizenship

    The classroom materials give students a glimpse into the lives of children in places where there is no access to clean water and it describes the process by which various agencies like Run for Water are working to respond to the global water crisis. For older grades, it discusses the importance of local empowerment and working with indigenous knowledge & skills in ensuring the sustainability of development projects. 

  • Social Responsibility

    This classroom resource guide is intended to introduce young students to the world’s water resources by providing engaging and age-appropriate opportunities to learn about the importance of safe water and sanitation. The materials and resources embrace a multidisciplinary approach to learning and aim to empower young students to work towards a world without poverty, disease and injustice.
