Online collaboration is key in this COVID-19 era, which is why a potential GWP Partners Networking Platform was discussed by delegates. It was proposed to develop a web-based platform that enables learning exchanges and features partner profiles. The platform would allow Partners to engage with each other more regularly throughout the year.<\/p>\n

Another way to engage youth is through global integrated water resources management (IWRM) knowledge compe-titions and Olympiads where young people can work on finding innovative solutions to water sector problems. One idea was to hold a tech competition to tackle desali-nation issues. Exchange programs were also suggested as a way of connecting with youth in various locations.![\"\"](\"https:\/\/gwpo-gwp.org\/southeast-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/04\/nm_screenshot-2020-10-22-13.22.41-1.png\")

Following the success of Summer School 2019 in Central & Eastern Europe, it was proposed to expand the program to other regions in 2021. The aim would be to bring to-gether bright young minds to solve water issues. The school could take a hybrid approach, with both online and in-person classes.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/gwpo-gwp.org\/southeast-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/04\/nm_screenshot-2020-10-22-13.18.37-1.png\")

For the global segment, the same question was discussed in each session: The Covid-19 crisis impacts water resources management today and will likely have long-lasting impacts due to the socio-economic crisis and shifting political priorities. As water actors, how do you adapt your work to continue bringing change to achieve water security? Can we identify \u2018success factors\u2019 to make change happen in this new environment? The EURASIA partners responded with develop a capacity for technology use through training, create multilingual resources projects, and revise strate-gies to include remote regions.
