Walter Smart & Friends
Overview
Walter Smart and Friends is a live theatre water education program, delivered in partnership with Gibber Educational, designed to excite and educate primary school students about the urban water cycle and the benefits of water efficiency.
Walter Smart and Friends comprises an innovative, fun, educational pantomime style performance and an interactive follow-on workshop. It includes original music and songs, comedy, and multimedia to captivate primary students and reinforce key water efficiency messages.
With an increased knowledge and raised awareness of all the easy ways they can use water wisely, the program leaves primary students with a positive can-do attitude, motivated to make changes to how they use water themselves, as well as being inspired to tell their family and friends all the simple ways they too can use water smartly.
We’re committed to empowering the next generation of water users. This primary school program achieves that.
