Geneva, Switzerland: On April 5th 2016, I represented the Water Youth Network in a session organised by the Association of Political Science and International Affairs of the University of Geneva, Switzerland. The session was part of the association’s thematic forum focused on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).  The forum allows the students and other interested individuals to The forum is a platform to reunite university students and every interested person with the goal of debating and exchanging about central questions of our contemporary society.

The AESPRI aims to defend the interests of its students by making the bridge between the University and the SPRI students. The General Assembly and the Comitee of the AESPRI are representing these students.  Furthermore the AESPRI organizes different events (conferences, publication of a magazine, study travels, political films, etc.) in order to build a platform of meetings and exchanges with the objective of putting life into the university studies.

Nevertheless it has to be said that even big improvements made, the goals set in 2000 haven’t been achieved.   So the countries continue their work and they adopted in september 2015 a new programme of sustainable development (SDGs), that includes 17 goals to be reached in 2030.    Will it imaginable to create a world without poverty, without hunger, without tuberculosis nor AIDS, without children dying at an early age, without discrimination  and this being achieved in 15 years?  Will it be possible to collect enough money to finance projects in order to reach the SDGs?  Will each country be able to improve the life conditions of its citizens?  Which solutions will be adopted to stop climate change?

This forum is a place of ateliers, films, and sensitization trough presentations of experts in parts of the MDGs. The participants will get the chance to present their points of view and their aims and to interact and exchange with national and international lecturers.
