About Project Blue

Project Blue is the Roots & Shoots Canada 2009 national water campaign.

Roots & Shoots is a program of the Jane Goodall Institute.

The purpose of Project Blue is to encourage Roots & Shoots groups to focus their projects on water-related issues and take part in coordinated activities and events. In doing so, groups' projects will be united around a common theme in order to increase their impact.

This website is intended to be a hub for all things water. We encourage Roots & Shoots members to use the site to connect with other groups and organizations working on water issues across Canada.

Project Blue aims to:

  • Educate youth on contemporary water issues
  • Support youth in taking action on water issues
  • Mobilize youth to increase the impact of their activities
  • Empower youth to increase awareness and understanding of the global water crisis

 

Throughout the campaign, Roots & Shoots will remain a flexible program, so groups can implement projects of their own design, or use the sample projects provided.

Water projects should follow the Roots & Shoots model:
