But that’s not all!
On June 16th, during the Netherlands–Indonesia Economic Mission, we also hosted a roundtable session to explore how Wave Indonesia can strengthen youth connections and shape the next Gamechanger Challenge for the UN 2026 Water Conference. The focus: unlocking inclusive, game-changing water solutions.💡
Meanwhile, Emma Gavrilov, a student from HZ University of Applied Sciences (Global Project & Change Management), is currently in Indonesia representing Wavemakers United in the Wetskills program. The finals and award ceremony were integrated into the trade mission. Emma inspired youth, partners, and government representatives to explore future collaborations with the Wavemakers United Foundation.
All part of our journey on the #RoadToUNWaterConference2026 in the UAE!
