Many of you will encounter this question in your working life: Can you write a proposal for funding for that great project that you are working on?
Where would you start?
The Water Youth Network noticed that it is quite a challenge to write a good proposal. For some, it comes easier than others, but there are a few things you can learn to easily improve your proposal writing skills.
Professor Eelco van Beek gave a workshop to 68 participants at UNESCO-IHE. We would like to share this experience with you!
If you have workshops, good lectures or other videos you would like to share which would help other (young) people to improve their skills, or understand the water sector or your water situation better, please let us know! We would like to help you spread the message.
Instructions
The workshop is 1 hour and 40 minutes long. You can start and stop the video whenever you want. In the screen, you will see the presentation Prof. Eelco van Beek gave.
