Awareness raising for Sustainable Sanitation. Our main focus consists of bringing the concept of Sustainable Sanitation closer to the public and contributing to spreading the use of sustainable sanitation technologies in Switzerland and around the world. Therefore, awareness-raising is a substantial part of the work of STO, targeting young people in particular.
Stockholm Junior Water Prize | Switzerland (SJWP-CH). The award aims to incentivise young students to grow an interest in water and sustainability issues and to create interaction opportunities between promising young talents and professionals in the Swiss water sector.
