The Global Water Partnership (GWP) created the GWP Water Academy for Youth (W.A.Y.) as opportunity for young professionals to fully realise their potential in the water community and become influencers and leaders, to create momentum with key actors in the water community to support and enhance youth engagement and empowerment in water resources management which will support the acceleration of the implementation of the SDGs.
One of the initiatives under this umbrella programme is an online course “From Learning to Leading : Beyond the ABC’s on Youth, Water and the SDGs”, in collaboration with Cap-Net and the University of San Andres, who is also a focal point for the UNESCO Education for Sustainability. The course offers an overview of the issues such as water management, climate change, participation from marginalized groups, water integrity and advocacy in the water world from a sustainability perspective targeting specifically to youth. Creating powerful solutions that embody change, challenging youth to rise from inertia to action has never been more needed. That is why this course aims to be an opportunity to gain knowledge and learn about the different tools to make change a reality
