Call for participation–EYES Water issues Camp from 8th to 17th March, Marseilles

We are a European network of young people called EYES – Empowering Youth in a European Society. Our aim is to connect young people across Europe to reflect and act on political issues that concern our future, such as education, employment and environment. We started in 2008 and we are part of the YPSSI platform, which federates youth organizations, scientists and young people from 27 EU countries.

EYES will be present in the coming World Water Forum (WWF) that will take place in Marseille (France) from March 8th to 18th, and in line, we will participate more closely at the Alternative WWF.

There are still free places for Greek and German young people, so feel invited!
(meaning persons with Greek or German nationality, or alternatively living in Germany or Greece)

- training sessions on networking, organisational, as well as group-decision making skills
