Leadership Conference, Madrid & Valencia
Begin your adventure in Berlin, exploring The Impact of Water on Society with other teachers and students as you build a shared understanding of how to harness this important natural resource to make a bigger difference around the world.
Then, dive deeper into the role water plays in farming and food production as you explore Spain. Travel to Madrid where you’ll explore a Manchego cheese farm and discuss how the Spanish capital’s arid climate makes water conservation a priority. Check out a local farm to learn how its fields are watered through Valencia’s irrigation system, which is considered a model for sustainable farming. Finally, return home ready to take action in your own community.
