Marta Zaragoza

GCEW Youth Expert Group Representative

International by choice (speaking 4+ languages & having lived in 6+ countries over 3 continents), I love building bridges through culture and education; creating stronger bonds for a better future. Actually, I am an activist, problem solver and avid learner with a deep penchant for diplomacy, water & climate agendas, quality education, children & women’s rights, intercultural dialogue and project management. Always striving to better understand and embrace the complexity of today’s world.

My current goals? Fostering dialogue, promoting active citizenship, connecting like-minded young change-makers or potential change-makers in order to inspire and empower them... Why? Because I’m just another passionate professional who wishes to contribute to the tackling of the numerous and manifold challenges our society is facing today; either when it comes to sportive, political, humanitarian, educational, democratic, environmental, or any other practices.

According to Jung’s Personality Test, I’m an extroverted, intuitive, rational and flexible person. A list to which I might want to add a couple of adjectives such as multitasking, curious, passionate, empathic, and multilingual. Indeed, I care not only about everything I undertake but also about everyone I undertake it with. Hence my efforts to foster dialogue and mutual understanding in everything I sign myself into; trying to create a “safe/positive space” working environment in which people feel welcomed and stimulated. In fact, I do firmly believe that when it comes to delivering optimal services dedication, expertise, ownership and a successful teamwork are key.

I am lucky enough to be able to embrace the fact that have many passions and fields of interest, it making me always be looking for new experiences that may allow me to grow either personally or academically/professionally or even better: both. Today if you don't find me at the library, you will find me advocating for young water professionals and youth-led water innovations. A former member of the European Youth Parliament for Water (from age 16), I am currently very proactively involved in promoting and sustaining the mission, values, and actions of the World Youth Parliament for Water. A program creator for our last in-person GA, I have acted since 2021 as our network's liaison to the World Water Forums and have been co-leading our Advocacy Working Group (that I co-created) since 2022. My other commitments? I'm part of the Swiss Water Partnership Youth, the Global Youth Movement for Water, the GWYN, and la Jeunesse pour l'Eau working group.
