Training | Waterwise

Feel empowered to use water wisely and encourage others through collective action whether that be at home or at work.

Join us for an online session or make an enquiry about an in-person session. Each of our training sessions cover the fundamentals of water efficiency in either a household and/or business setting – including why it’s important to use water wisely where we can, as well as how to do this at work and/or at home.

Depending on the session’s format, there are varying levels of opportunities for discussion and shared insights. Our sessions are suitable for beginners and intermediates alike, so all are welcome!
