The Working Group Human Capital of Water Europe is organizing a series of webinars to help you enhance your skills on human capital and skill development needed for the future of a water-smart society. The webinars are designed to provide quick, one-hour sessions that describe and discuss the most needed transformations, skill needs, and methodologies to support your development and that of the water sector.

Citizen engagement and participation, as well as creating awareness about water usage, are some of the most important transformations, skill needs, and methodologies that will be discussed in the first webinar of the series.

To stimulate citizen engagement and skill development, it is important to identify the key stakeholder groups and the skills required in the water sector. For instance, participating in such projects can help citizens develop more skills. The availability of technologies can also help spread knowledge and awareness about water usage.
