Branches in the North
EWB-Durham was founded in 2006 and has been growing in reputation and size over the past few years. Of particular success has been its "Water for the World" Outreach programme, that has led to continuing invitations to run water and sanitation workshops with both year 7 and year 11 students in local schools. Additionally, a highly successful International Development Course was held in June. This one day course aimed to educate people interested in partaking in international development projects and interventions.
Being a very young branch, EWB-Durham are looking to continue building their reputation locally as well as looking to foster further collaboration with some of the other development related societies at the University. A longer term aim is to try and influence the engineering department to encourage more development related issues to be included in the curriculum.
