In parallel to this, some young professionals give some of their spare-time to support us and some working groups are settled to work on:
- Projection’s regular meetings (after work sessions, breakfasts): they take place once a month (alternating young and senior professionals)
- The collaborative platform: reinforcing the members’ database and contribution to articles on the website
- Giving the floor to young professionals: lobbying the increased presence of young professionals in national and international events on basic services
- Multilingualism: translating our discussions on the website or during or meetings, as well as our communication material
- Thematic thinking: information capitalization and exchange of experiences on specific subjects (for example: access to water and sanitation in slums)
All people of goodwill are welcome! For more information, do not hesitate in contacting us!
