Our first follow-up seminar on "Sustainable Sanitary Solutions in Developing Countries" from 3rd-4th March in the BMZ in Berlin was a great success.
With the "advanced" participants we looked at sanitary technologies and systems as well as a broad portfolio of non-technological measures for projects in development co-operation.
A special thanks goes out to Claudia Wendland from Women in Europe for a Common Future (WECF) and her lecture on UDDTs (Urine Diverting Dehydrating Toilets).
We hope that participants will be able to apply their knowledge in the future and we thank you for your engagement and feedback during the seminar.
And we won't stop!
For everyone who was not able to mae it this time: further seminars are being planned (foundational as well as advanced levels). Stay tuned for further info!
