EDUCATE
THE WATER ACADEMY
Education that grows with the child
Most children learn to read and count — but not how to care for the water that keeps them alive. The Water Academy is our two-track program for ages 5 to 12, built on verified science, artistic practice, and one belief: a child who loves water protects it for life.
Learn it. Live it. Carry it home.
OUR FOUNDING VISION
Children are the future leaders of the world. They are the generation who will face the consequences of our past and make the decisions of tomorrow. It is important to educate them in their formative years about the essence, importance, properties and challenges that water faces. We believe it should be stimulating, enriching and engaging.
Through education, creative workshops and experiments, Passion Sea tackles the subjects at hand:
- Water properties & cycle
- Water, memory and vibration
- Water rituals & protection
- Water and respect for your body, your home and your world
- Water & pollution
- Experiments and creative workshops
THE TWO TRACKS
LITTLE WATER GUARDIANS · AGES 5–8
Stories, songs, wonder — and the journey of Drop, a water droplet older than the mountains. Children learn the water cycle through dance, discover the ocean inside their bodies, and make their first water promise.
Signature activities: The Water Cycle Dance · Drop's Birthday
WATER DETECTIVES · AGES 9–12
Investigation mode: why is a blue planet mostly undrinkable? Where does water hide — in jeans, breakfast, under our feet? Children run real experiments, meet the invisible water in everything, and take home the empathy walk they never forget.
Signature activities: The Bucket Demonstration · The 20-Litre Walk
