About the Fellowship

The Young Water Diplomats programme is designed to enhance an interdisciplinary understanding of transboundary water challenges and advance tools for water cooperation and diplomacy, as well as to strengthen professional networking among the next generation of leading water and environmental diplomats.

The Young Water Diplomats Programme will be conducted from January to July 2025 (six months). During this period, participants will be engaged in online and in-person learning activities consisting of lectures, reading assignments, group work, and discussions with experts.

Thematic lectures delivered by leading academics will be coupled with interventions from practitioners. Interactive meetings with diplomats who have experience in the fields of water and environmental peace-building will create additional space for sharing experiences and getting first- hand knowledge.

The programme consists of bi-monthly webinars that will take place online throughout the duration of the programme. In addition, it includes two face-to-face workshops: in New Delhi (India) and Delft (The Netherlands).
