A Trip with the Drip - The Water Drop

A workbook A Trip with the Drip - The Water Drop, in English, Japanese and French, an interactive CD and a web version of the CD have been designed, developed and produced by UNEP in collaboration with (CEE) Centre for Environment Education, India. These books and the CD were launched at the 2005 Children's World Summit for the Environment held in Japan in July. The Summit was organised by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and Japan Organizing Committee for the 2005 Children's World Summit for the Environment (JOC).
Eight hundred and fifty children from 65 countries attended. In addition to plenary sessions, several workshops were held.

The colourful workbook and CD contain basic facts, interesting information, and several "learning by doing" activities on various aspects of water. The package communicates both the quantity and quality aspects of water that are of immediate concern to all. More importantly, it carries the message that every one can play a role in conserving this resource. The web version will be available on the website www.kidsrgreen.org

The package is based on CEE's fundamental premise that environmental issues are best taught and learnt by experience and through activities. It puts its faith in children as the best ambassadors for a Green Future for our planet.

And above all, it believes that even small actions can make a difference towards improving and protecting the environment.
