Applications Open for Delegation to SIWI World Water Week in Stockholm. Application Deadline: August 1
From August 17 to 23 the “leading annual global meeting place for capacity-building, partnership-building and follow-up on the implementation of international processes and programmes in water and development”, as it calls itself, takes place in Stockholm, Sweden. After having attended the conference last year for the first time, TYN decided to send a delegation to this year’s week as well.
2008 is the International Year of Sanitation. This is why this year’s theme has been announced as Progress and Prospects on Water: For a Clean and Healthy World. Many lectures and workshops will be held by specialist from all over the world, highlighting the important role of water for development. SIWI can count more than 170 partner organisations, a huge opportunity to exchange ideas and create new networks within the water world. The second announcement of the World Water Week 2008 can be downloaded here.
THIMUN Youth Network is eager to send a group of motivated young people with a genuine interest in water issues to this event. Unlike many other delegations the organisation does not intend to present a specific project but would like to offer participation in this event for capacity building and education of our participants.
If you are between the ages of 16 and 25, and have participated in at least one THIMUN Youth Assembly you can apply until August 1 to be part of the delegation. For details on how to register, please click here.
