Youth empowerment at World Water Week 2022

The theme of World Water Week 2022 is Seeing the Unseen: The Value of Water, where the true value of water will be explored from varying perspectives. The week offers over 300 sessions, covering a diverse range of water-related topics. In this event programme, SIWI’s champions of Youth Empowerment have hand-picked sessions which incorporate youth, ranging from how to start a career in water to inclusive urban planning, and much more.

There have never been so many young people in the world, and they must have a say in decisions about water that impact them. Youth empowerment is a pillar of SIWI’s work and a cross-cutting issue that is reflected in all of our projects and programmes.
