EWN Summer School on Water 2008

Preserving the world’s water resources and securing access to water for all is one of the greatest challenges of the 21^st century. In 2008, the EWN will therefore bring together about 20 young people from all over the world in the first EWN Summer School on Water.

The participants will have the opportunity to study - in a regionally and confessionally diverse group - the local, regional, and international manifestations and causes of the water crisis. They will examine the situation and challenges from a perspective of faith and ethics, and search together for possible ecumenical responses.

The Summer School on Water will take place from 27 July to 5 August 2008 at the Ecumenical Institute in Bossey, Switzerland.

Participants have to be between 18 and 30 years old. English is the working language of the programme and its good knowledge is required.

Read the application form carefully, complete it clearly and fully (in English; type if possible) and send it to the address mentioned in the form before 24 March 2008. Only applications which are fully completed and sent in time will be considered. The places in the Summer School on Water are limited, so not all qualified applicants can be guaranteed a place in the programme.
