Upcoming Meet-Up


Join us on for our next WWSN Meet-up —a fun and informal opportunity to connect with others in our global family.


📅 18 February 2026
🕑 15:00-16:30 CET  
💻 Format: Online
🙂 WWSN members, Stronger Together! Coalition members + friends (women only)


 

Inspired by the UN High-level Preparatory Meeting in Dakar, Senegal (January 2026), as part of teh Preparatory process of the 2026 UN Water Conference, we’re hosting this special virtual Meet-up. It’s a moment to reconnect with fellow participants, exchange key takeaways, and keep the energy of the Congress and the Stronger Together! Coalition alive.

What to Expect

We are delighted to welcome two inspiring speakers:

• Elizabeth A. Koch – Bridging Waters Advisory / Women in Water Diplomacy Network
• Dr. Aline Saraiva Okello – Rural Water Supply Network

They will share key reflections from Dakar and what it means for women in water as we move toward 2026, followed by small breakout conversations to connect, exchange, and look ahead together.

Who Can Join

This Meet-up is open to all WWSN members and to members of the Stronger Together! Coalition organisations, and friends – women only.

You don’t need to have attended the Dakar event to join — if you did (in person or online), bring your reflections; if not, come to listen, learn, and connect.  Looking forward to seeing you online soon!

WWSN Online Workshop: Careers – Mastering Job Interviews

Have you ever been invited to an interview and wondered how to truly stand out?

Do you find it challenging to present your experience with confidence and clarity when it matters most?

You are not alone. Even highly experienced professionals can find interviews daunting. That’s why we invite you to join our next WWSN Workshop—a supportive and informal space to build confidence, strengthen your interview skills, and connect with women across our global network.

📅 9 April 2026
🕑 14:30 – 16:00 CEST
💻 Format: Online (Zoom)
🙂 Participants: WWSN members (women only)

 

What to expect

This interactive workshop will focus on practical strategies to help you prepare for and succeed in job interviews.

We are especially pleased to welcome our guest expert, Eliana Harrigan, who will guide us through key interview techniques and the art of storytelling for impactful and authentic self-presentation.

Together, we will explore how to structure your responses, communicate your skills and experience with confidence, and align your story with the role you are applying for.

Through short inputs, breakout discussions, and practical exercises, participants will reflect on their professional journeys, practice answering common interview questions, and exchange ideas and peer feedback in small groups.

We will also share tips on how to handle challenging questions, make a strong first impression, and convey your unique value with clarity and purpose.

By the end of the session, you will have practical tools, new perspectives, and greater confidence to approach interviews with clarity and authenticity.

While we cannot promise job offers, we hope to provide useful strategies, fresh insights, and a supportive space—and perhaps help you find a “partner in crime” to practice and prepare together!

Who Can Join

This workshop is open to all WWSN members – women only.

How to Join

This will be a virtual workshop. A Zoom meeting link will be sent to you shortly after registration.
