Yann Arthus-Bertrand supports the World Youth Parliament for Water
Throughout my trips around the earth, I have noticed how much young people are the future of the world, how they subvert our habits, with their enthusiasm and with their hopes.
Water is a source of life, but in many countries, and particularly for the Third World children, water is also a source of disease or of hard labour while solutions are existing to greatly improve this situation.
Therefore, I firmly support the World Youth Parliament for Water which will be held in Marseille in March 2012, so that young people take their place there and participate in it, and so that they can bring their solutions.
Yann Arthus-Bertrand
From 7 to 10 November 2011, an important step in the preparation of the World Youth Parliament for Water will take place in Douai (Nord-Pas de Calais, France).
From the official opening of the working sessions, to the cultural evening and the evening "Water and Film Events", the goal is:
- to create a relationship between those responsible for representing the world's youth in March 2012,
- to generate a common reflection on the organisation and the strategy of youth participation in World Water Forum and the "World Youth Parliament for Water",
- to work on the themes of the Forum.
