Wetskills uses a new way of authentic learning and international networking for students and young professionals with a passion for water. The Challenges take place worldwide, usually during international water related events. In multidisciplinairy, international teams, the participants work on real life cases from companies and (governmental) organisations. Their challenge: to think out-of-the-box and develop realistic concepts.
Due to corona, the event programs had to be changed to be corona-proof. We are happy that we succeeded, so we were able to re-start with an exciting event: Wetskills-The Netherlands in Leeuwarden (13-23 September 2020). And more events will follow later this year!
WetsNext works on follow-up projects of Wetskills concepts with the partners involved. Main aim: impact with new ideas!
Wetskills Water Challenges have been organized more than 40 times since 2010, with some 800 participants and events in 23 countries. The Wetskills Foundation is an independent foundation with a broad international network in the water sector, based in The Hague, The Netherlands.

These concepts are presented during the formal event through an ice-breaking and energizing session, when the cooperation between the Dutch water sector and the partner-country is showed and positioned. It provides a floor to integrate generations, water challenges, disciplines and cultures.
