VOICES OF THE WATER: IMMERSE YOURSELF

Written By Nicole Van den Eijnde

As part of our Voices of the Water project we have come across so many amazing books, films and projects which explore and recognise the importance of water in our lives and on Earth, from which we find inspiration. These have included the importance and sacredness of water linked to different areas, including wellbeing, cultural heritage stories, scientific stories and discoveries and the climate emergency. We share here some of these resources for you to explore and discover as well.
