Why did we create the WYN?
The Water Youth Network was created soon after the 6th World Water Forum in Marseille, France, when a group of young people from all over the world met to share their solutions to address water related issues. They realized that, together, they could influence the water sector for the better.
Today, the Water Youth Network is an inclusive connector in the water sector, with a vibrant community of active young people working across disciplines and borders.
What are our objectives?
We aspire to a world where young people work together to become agents of change and ultimately improve the world’s water situation.
Overall, the aim of the Water Youth Network is to offer a platform (on and offline) for young people to exchange with one another, to promote their inclusion in decision-making processes and to facilitate the adoption of youth friendly policies at all levels. Through this network we hope to encourage a spirit of on-going and learning and exchange between many generations of water professionals, which will be extremely valuable to address the expanding water challenges facing the planet.
What we do concretely:
We focus our attention on four priority areas in order to achieve our vision.
