\"\"Water is life: young people as custodians of the Lakes of Vico and Bracciano<\/strong>, funded by the Waldensian Church (8 per 1000), is a local environmental project aimed at safeguarding and stewarding the waterways of Lakes Bracciano and Vico, based on the active participation of youth. The project was created to enable the development of youth agency and critical thinking towards significant issues around environmental sustainability, especially, local stewardship of water and food.<\/p>\n

The project involves 50 young people between the ages of 11 and 14, and focuses on their propensity to become transformative agents of change. This initiative is rooted in a larger ongoing process, carried out by various other local stakeholders, of enhancing the area’s rich environmental heritage.<\/p>\n

Key actions are divided between theoretical modules and experiential learning activities. At the end of this educational course, the work of the students would be highlighted through a final paper in the form of a journalistic investigation into the themes and their experiences of local stewardship. The paper is envisioned to be presented by the participants during a final meeting with all the local stakeholders. At the meeting, participants would share their experiences, learnings and reflections.<\/p>\n

An important part of this project is to incite curiosity and inquiry through the guided experiential visits and workshops aimed to bring the youth in direct relationship with the Lakes of Vico and Bracciano along with the stakeholders of these waterways. These visits would involve local organic farmers with expertise on how to honour and be in the right relationship with these waterways, giving students the rich opportunity to have direct conversations with local stewards.<\/p>\n
