Global Citizenship for Sustainable Mountain Development
Saving the World's Water Towers (SWWT) Mountain Beacon and Torch
Beacons have been used for thousands of years as a signal to guide, warn and communicate between communities. They are very often placed in high locations where a fire is a message that can be passed from beacon to beacon, from community to community.
The idea of a mountain beacon is to raise awareness about mountain issues around the world through education for sustainable mountain development and global citizenship education. No matter how far we are away from the mountains our daily decisions and actions impact glaciers and the fragile mountain environment.
“We are All Mountain People”
For the International Year of Glaciers Preservation, students at FWS updated the signs and added a fire bowl to the top of the beacon.
