On 2nd April, EWB-GU hosted its first ever all-day training event centred around the theme of WASH (WAter, Sanitation and Hygiene), the new committee having organised, publicised and deployed the surprise series of workshops in less time than is theoretically possible.

Brian Reed from WEDC (the Water, Engineering and Development Centre at Loughborough University) kicked the day off with a general introduction to WASH, highlighting the holistic and cross-disciplinary approach it promotes, something that is essential to ensure the long-term success of international development projects.
