Bali Raincraft x The 10th World Water Forum stands as a unique youth engagement program, harnessing the power of Minecraft as a serious gaming tool to co-design and promote dialogue and collaboration for Bali’s climate and water solutions.
As part of the “Indonesian Wave” initiative, the program is specially crafted by The Water Agency for aspiring Indonesian Wave Ambassadors prior to its launch during the 10th World Water Forum in Bali. The Wave itself serves as a youth-led ecosystem for young individuals to connect, share innovative perspectives, and collectively address global challenges concerning too much, too dirty, and too little water.
Bali Raincraft x The 10th World Water Forum is built upon the full-scale Bali Raincraft program held in 2023. Utilising a pre-built “true-to-life” case study site model and previously developed training and water-climate education modules, potential Indonesian Wave Ambassadors work in a virtual Minecraft environment. Here, the curated activities enable participants to delve into the innovative realm, where they are exposed to the digital prowess to tackle pressing water and climate challenges.
The program is organised in two separate series: a fully online series (April – May 2024) and an offline hackathon series during the 10th World Water Forum (21 – 23 May 2024). The series engage two different groups of participants and are conducted in slightly different formats.
Building on the momentum of initiatives like Bali Raincraft, The Water Agency is committed to paving the way for innovative solutions and youth-driven action on the global water agenda.

Bali, renowned for its tourism, grapples with a water crisis stemming from tourism growth and inadequate management. Lapangan Puputan Renon, situated in Denpasar, Bali, faces water and climate issues like flooding, drainage blockage, and groundwater quality decline due to the tourism growth and inadequate water management. With its significance in community life, addressing these issues would be necessary. The participants will get the chance to explore and build their ideas virtually in the Minecraft map of the Lapangan Puputan Renon.
