Young Europeans Water Carriers

A project to meet and exchange

The project "Young Europeans Drawers of Water" of which "Small Débrouillards PACA" are project leaders, will bring together 32 young people from eight European countries (France, Greece, Italy, Bulgaria, Romania, Germany, Finland, Lithuania) from 7 to 18 March  2012 in Marseille for the 6^th World Water Forum.
In each country, an organisation belonging to the network YPPSI will send a group of four young people aged 18 to 25 years and one accompanying person to meet and participate in a project around the construction of European citizenship.

The meeting in Marseille for the 6^th World Water Forum is for these young people a stepstone in the organisation of the participation of European youth in other events and reflection on other topics: the young have organised a series of video conferences with young representatives in Rio, training time on networking and on ecological transition.
