To actively educate and raise awareness of the future generations about the role of water and hand hygiene – even more important in the times of the COVID-19 pandemic – Droople is engaged in promoting the Smart Sanitation Solutions for schools. Learn about the installation at VIVALYS – the first primary school in the world to automatically measure the level of hand hygiene of its students through connected water sensors.

During 2020 – a year in which hygiene has become a central theme in our lives during the outbreak of the COVID-19, Droople entered a collaboration with a pioneering school Vivalys (member of the Educalis Group, Ecublens, Switzerland) to introduce the solutions for hand hygiene and raise the awareness of smarter water use among the primary school students.
In the frame of this collaboration, Droople had the opportunity to run a series of workshops to raise youngsters’ awareness of how much precious water is used during a school day and how to use this water in a smart way. Result: it gives kids both the pleasure of learning and the foretaste of the challenges to come.
According to this advanced pedagogy, operative and iterative approaches are combined, meaning the knowledge acquired in the classroom is directly validated in real life – through real case studies, experimentation, and meetings with professionals. Then, these practical experiences are brought back to class to analyze them together and share, and to draw lessons that will remain engraved throughout life.
This was also the case of the “Water Challenge” week that took place in January 2020 under the lead of their teacher, Pascal Lopez. The challenge summarized the learnings around the theme of water. Among the ten challenges, Race for Water or managing your own wastewater station as well as the challenge of launching a startup on a mission to make water matter to people with Ramzi Bouzerda, CEO of Droople. In this workshop, children explored our mission and our technology, then discovered some issues related to water in Switzerland. Following this action, the Smart Sanitation solution from Droople was installed at the school, which not only made it possible to establish best hygiene practices among the students, but also to include the analysis of their behavior as a daily approach to the use of water.
