|---|
|
Since I am on the mailing list of the World Water Forum I received this update on youth activities at the ongoing World Water Forum . Tomorrow 17th March is the closing day and the orgainsers have made it OPEN TO THE PUBLIC which means everyone has access tomorrow to this event . What an opportunity for those in Marseilles .
Below is the text of the article as reported in the event newsletter: The 6th World Water Forum innovates in giving youth a large importance. From students to young professionals, they all contribute to success of the different events that are taking place. Flashback on the main initiatives. For more than 2 years, the ?Roots and Citizenship Commission? has been focusing on the initiatives and contributions of students (age 18-25) from all over the world, reaching multiple outcomes: youth vision development, declaration from the Water Youth Parliament, conferences, etc. A fresh look on water The youth movement brings a new look on water issues. It helps ?create links between us?, explains Marie-Alix Prat, one of the three leaders of the Youth Movement for Water working group. The Forum puts forward youth and general public awareness-raising regarding the ?Youth and Water? network?s role to make the voice of the young heard abroad and to foster dialogue between all the generations. "Young people have the right to sit at the Solutions table in the institutions?, declares Olivier Thibault, General Director of the Artois-Picardie Water Agency. |
