About us
The International Secretariat for Water (ISW) and Solidarity Water Europe (SWE) bring together citizens and organizations that are committed and active in the cause of water. Their commitment is to ensure the application of the founding texts of the movement (the Montreal Charter and the Declaration of Strasbourg) to ensure access to drinking water and sanitation for all. The ISW is based in Montreal, Canada, and SEE is based in Strasbourg, France. Building on the evolution of knowledge, the development of innovative partnerships and creativity, ISW-SWE develops initiatives that guarantee the right to water and thus universal access to water and sanitation, while preserving the resource. The ISW-SWE and its partners create bridges and dialogues between all stakeholders (civil society, academic sector, private sector and institutions). The ISW-SWE acts according to three axes of action: • Field; • Advocacy and awareness raising; • Youth. The actions of the ISW-SWE movement take place more particularly in rural areas, in small communities and in peri-urban areas. They contribute to the implementation of integrated resource management, with watersheds as a reference framework.

Here’s the kind of feedback that gives real meaning to our work in empowering #youth4water. Read below for Martin Robert Kiss' insights from the 16th European Youth Parliament for Water, which we organized last week in Hungary, focusing on the Water & Biodiversity nexus.
🌊 What an incredibly intensive week it has been! 🌊 I had the honor of participating in the European Youth Parliament for Water - EYPW for Water as part of the European Delegation. Over 100 young professionals from across Europe gathered to explore how we can contribute to water management and biodiversity preservation. Our journey began with a visit to the Hungarian Parliament, where we were inspired by a presentation from former President János Áder, alongside other distinguished speakers, including Alan AtKisson (Executive Secretary and CEO of GWP) and Attila Lovas (President of the GWP Hungary Foundation), the leader of the Global Water Partnership. They emphasized the vital role of youth involvement in the water sector. 🏙 The remainder of the week took place in Szolnok, where we had the privilege of engaging with esteemed experts such as Andras Prof. Dr. Szöllősi-Nagy., Maguelonne Dejeant-Pons, Anna Bérczi-Siket, Laszlo Balatonyi (Ph.D.), Benedek Jándó, and Dr. Tibor Bíró. They shared invaluable insights into the scientific foundations of water management and the climate crisis. We also learned about the various avenues for youth advocacy. It was a pleasure to hear it from the different actors how the are empowering youths to take charge and advocate for their future. One of the highlights was participating in interactive activities that simulated water management processes in the Danube Basin, where we collaborated to develop strategies for effective water management across borders. I am grateful for this enriching experience and excited to bring these insights back to my community. Together, we can make a difference in the future of our planet's water resources! 💧✨ I would like to thank for the amazing opportunity to Viktor Oroszi from the EUSDR for recommending me for this amazing opportunity! I would also like to thank you for Monika Jetzin and the team of the GWP Hungary for their absolute support and help during the whole week! Also, thank you for Clément Dolisi and the Secrétariat international de l'eau - International Secretariat for Water for the support and mediator duties during the week! Also thank you very much for every participants who participated during the conference! It was a pleasure and an honor to meet these many young and inspiring professionals! 😉 #YouthLeadership #WaterManagement #Biodiversity #ClimateAction #EYPW2024

A look back at the Project Forum 🌍 Across Europe, young people are a source of innovative ideas and solutions emerging locally to address water and biodiversity issues. 💧🌿 At the Project Forum, 16th EYPW members and partner organizations had the opportunity to share these solutions, many of which have already proved their worth. These initiatives deserve to be scaled up to benefit a greater number of citizens. #EYPW16 #WaterGeneration #Youth4Water Retour sur le Forum de projets 🌍 À travers l’Europe, la jeunesse est une source d’idées et de solutions innovantes qui émergent localement pour répondre aux enjeux liés à l’eau et à la biodiversité. 💧🌿 Lors du Forum de projets, les membres du 16e PEJE et les organisations partenaires ont eu l’opportunité de partager ces solutions, dont beaucoup ont déjà fait leurs preuves.

16TH EUROPEAN YOUTH PARLIAMENT FOR WATER 🌍 European Youth Mobilize for Water and Biodiversity in Hungary 💧 From October 20 to 26, 2024, over 100 young Europeans gathered in Budapest and Szolnok for the 16th European Youth Parliament for Water (EYPW). This unique event, organized by the Secrétariat international de l'eau - International Secretariat for Water focused on the critical intersection of Water and Biodiversity, a theme that is becoming increasingly urgent in today’s climate. You can learn more about the event here: European Youth Parliament for Water. As a representative of the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR), I had the opportunity to participate on the 23rd day’s panel session (“All levels of actions and decisions mobilized to protect water and biodiversity”) and share insights on the regional and hungarian national water strategy. While my work with Ludovika University and the General Directorate of Water Management of Hungary was partially represented, the focus was on the broader basin-level thinking that the Danube River Basin demands. Personal engagement is key—I was thrilled to engage with professionals from different fields. You all are awesome, and I’m always open to collaborate with you! 🌟 Water connects us all—it’s not just about civil engineers. We are all water managers, and it’s crucial to include multi-sectoral knowledge in managing this vital resource. We must understand and involve the next generation in the planning, because what we do today will shape the future for the next two to three generations. Water management must be calculable and forecastable, and we need to work across sectors to ensure that our solutions are sustainable. One of the most exciting initiatives in this space is the Danube Youth Council, which empowers young voices in the decision-making process. Applications are now open! (You can get more information on that here: https://lnkd.in/df5xZFXG 🚀 I look forward to supporting EU accession countries like Serbia (which I’ll be visiting in November) and Bosnia & Herzegovina as they step into leadership roles within the #EUSDR framework. 💡 Let’s come together as water managers and engage the next generation to create sustainable solutions that will endure for the future. I’m always open to collaborate with engaged professionals from different fields!
