Under the patronage of H.E. Mr. Khalid Irani, the Minister of Environment, JREDS launched the second phase of the "Right to Water" project on the 6th of July 2006, which aims at empowering young leaders in the Right to Water concept and providing them with the needed skills to raise public awareness and spread the concept among other people. The second phase of the Right to Water project looks at establishing aqua-clubs in schools and universities around the Kingdom and also focuses on establishing a water knowledge center at the visitor’s center, Aqaba Marine Park. The general guidelines for the Right to Water course covered the evaluation criteria of the UN concept: availability of water, water quality, physical accessibility and affordability, non-discrimination against marginalized areas or groups and information on water issues. Training also tackled the right to a sufficient supply of water for personal and domestic use. The knowledge and skills gained through the training workshops provided the aqua-clubs’ leaders with a good base of information on the Human Rights to Water. Establishing those clubs at the universities and schools will provide a solid base for this concept to be more widely spread among young generations besides enhancing the "youth to youth" approach. The main three initiatives are: 1. Design and publish educational tools for school students
Finally, JREDS, and throughout the project will aim at changing the youth perception of human rights, where youth leaders will thrive for their rights and work on achieving their mission |
