YWP Get-Together | African and European youth perspectives for a water-wise future

During this IWA YWP online Get-Together, participants will learn about the United Nations 2023 Water Conference, held in New York in March, and the youth engagement during the event. This IWA YWP online Get-Together will highlight the perspectives and experiences of young water professionals from Europe and Africa that attended the conference in person. Panellists will discuss youth participation and how they articulate and influence the 2030 Agenda and the achievement of the objectives set within the Water Action Decade.

In addition to this, some of the youth delegates from the IWA and Grundfos “Youth Action for SDG6” Fellowship from both regions will join the event, sharing their insights from attending and contributing to the UN 2023 Water Conference.

The event will be hosted in English, and no translation will be available. This is a free event and no certificate will be provided.
