Youth Month in South Africa
As the Young Expert Programme (YEP) members on the OKP Bridging the Water project, we would like to end this youth month by sharing our experiences in the project thus far. We have been able to collaborate and share experiences with many young students, locally and internationally through the living labs – in person and virtually. It has been amazing to be a part of a project that aims to extend and share knowledge across various work packages to strengthen the water education and training in South Africa.
