Preserving the world’s water resources and securing access to water for all is one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. In 2008, the EWN therefore brought together about 20 young people from all over the world in the first EWN Summer School on Water.
The participants had the opportunity to study - in a regionally and confessionally diverse group - the local, regional, and international manifestations and causes of the water crisis. They examined the situation and challenges from a perspective of faith and ethics, and searched together for possible ecumenical responses.
The Summer School on Water took place from 27 July to 5 August 2008 at the Ecumenical Institute in Bossey, Switzerland.
