Explanation of our initiative

We would like to invite you to join the Water Youth Movement for the 6th World Water Forum.! The Water Youth Movement is an open project kick-started by a group of Dutch and French young people and is supported by the French think tank Youth Diplomacy in partnership with the 6th World Water Forum Secretariat. We aim at including as many young people as possible from all around the world.


The 6th World Water Forum gives us, young people, the chance to speak up and to get involved in the process leading up to the 6th World Water Forum in Marseille in March 2012. We are invited to think about, and contribute to solving the targets set by the World Water Community. (http://www.worldwaterforum6.org/en/commissions/thematic/#targets).

Our mission is to spread this message to invite young people with solutions from all over the world to share their ideas with the world water community. Contributors with the best solutions will be invited to come and share them at the Forum in Marseille.
Our action is organised in 4 steps:

1. We gather a network of young people on our Facebook page "Water Youth Movement for the 6th World Water Forum".

2. We launched a Web Forum on our web site next week to share all our ideas and solutions relating to the topics set by the Forum. We opened a small range of topics now, but hope this will grow. If you're willing to start a debate on another topic, you're more than welcome to contact us to moderate a new topic!http://wateryouthmovement.org

3. We will launch in the coming month a Call for Solutions , through a contest. Best solutions to water issues will then be selected by the Forum Secretariat managers and we will organise with them events to present these solutions at the Forum with discussions with experts, companies, think tanks of the worldwide Water Community and the Youth. Young people will also be able to take part in official committees to present their ideas.

4. We will gather all contributions of the other youth initiatives to the Forum and bundle these with your ideas.

If you’re interested in our initiative, it would be great if you could help us build this Youth Water network! By spreading this message to your own Students, sister-organisations, networks and partners working on water issues or which could be in touch with young people doing so!

You can contribute in several ways: By contributing to the debates on the Web Forum, by moderating a topic on the Web Forum or by organising an event or a youth working group relating to water in partnership with the Forum. The results of such events or debates can be shared on the forum. Do not hesitate to contact us! Most active contributors will be invited to the Forum!

You can forward them this email and invite everyone to like our Facebook page.
We look forward to working with you! The Water Youth Movement really is an Open Project and we will be more than happy to receive any suggestions, contributions, new ideas. Let's make this a truly global movement together!

See you online!
