OUR VISION
Water is one of the cores of the SDG framework. Crossing boundaries and an intergenerational dialogue in the water & sustainability sector is the way forward to reach the implementation of the SDGs in the Decade of Action (2020-2030).
Action is needed, so stop talking, start doing!
OUR MISSION
Wetskills Foundation brings to the table Future Leaders (Young Professionals and students) with a passion for Water & Sustainability using their enthusiasm, vision, expertise and concrete solutions. Intergenerational and action-driven co-creation in a diverse and respectful way generates out-of-the-box solutions and networks, that will support the implementation of the SDGs with the focus on SDG 6 Water and will create more visibility and inspiration.
OUR METHOD
The Wetskills Challenge is a 12-14 days think tank programme for students and young professionals with a passion for water and sustainability. They join an event, coming from all over the world, and work in transdisciplinary and transcultural teams on challenging water cases. Their main challenge: find out-of-the-box and practical solutions for water and sustainability challenges in a changing world.
Wetskills tailors other youth engagement programmes based on the philosophy above.
