Run for Water

Secondary II (2nd year of swiss Graduation, approx. 15-16 years)

As part of the Eduki national competition 2019/2020, the pupils of the Renens High school in the canton of Vaud have carried out the "Run for Water" project, a symbolic 6km run representing the distance that some people in the world have to travel to have access to drinking water. This project allowed them to reflect on the different aspects of peace. In this way, they were able to understand that in order to achieve a more peaceful world, continuous improvements and efforts must be made by all. Finally, their objective was to raise awareness and inform people about self-help and the main problems of our time, in particular, the lack of access to drinking water in certain regions of the world, which is an obstacle to peace.
