The Blue Schools Kit contains reference materials for school authorities and teachers to introduce games, experiments, creative activities and excursions that help children learn about water and the environment.

The Blue Schools Kit guides education authorities, school stakeholders and civil society organisations to work with upper primary and secondary school students to transform their schools into Blue Schools through activities such as gardening and waste management.
