In the Wetskills programme, the participants will work in mixed and multidisciplinary teams of four to five people, to develop innovative concepts to the case studies provided by the water sector during an extensive two-week program. The program will start with team building activities for the first two days to allow participants to get to know each other. This includes field trips to water-related and cultural sites. An intensive period will follow that will focus on working on the assigned study case. International Wetskills and local supervisors will guide you during the weeks and facilitate your team to find its own innovative concept. Finally, the teams will pitch their results during a special Wetskills seminar aligned to the Tech Summit (Delhi, 15-16 October 2019) and a workshop on Intergrated Water and Flood Risk management (Kochi, 18 October 2019).
