Summer School of the Ecumenical Water Network

The Ecumenical Water Network (EWN) organizes an International Summer School for youth and young adults (18-30). Many Lutheran churches are tackling the issue as well and the Lutheran World Federation’s Desk for Women in Church and Society had already a series of consultations on the issue.The summer school has the following description:

“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.” If you want to apply go this link.
