Helping Youth Innovators turn Ideas into Action
The global water crisis is affecting everyone in some way or the other. Every year on March 22, we observe World Water Day for shedding light on the depletion of a vital resource that is pivotal for our existence on this planet.
On this World Water Day, join us for a public pitching session featuring 6 promising student projects tackling Urban Water Resilience issues in Côte d’Ivoire, France, Mexico, China and Switzerland, that have been coached by the Crowd4SDG project and the Geneva Tsinghua Initiative. Invited experts on social entrepreneurship will share thoughts on how these young social entrepreneurs can sustain their innovation projects, so they can reach their full potential. The audience will be invited to join a discussion about successes and setbacks in these and similar youth innovation programs.
