One of our main activities is the organisation of a biennial international conference, where our members and other interested individuals meet and share knowledge and challenges from their experiences and projects. After the founding global meeting in Senegal in 2011, our second conference was organised in Athens, Greece in 2014, followed by conferences in Patagonia, Argentina in 2016 and Chennai, India in 2018.
During these international conferences, WE members organise and participate in theoretical sessions and practical hands-on workshops, open to everyone, where besides learning, we also get to know each other and create personal bonds, which in turn strengthens the working relationship between all participating institutions. This has enabled the association’s members to identify and carry out collaborative projects that benefit the entire Wind Empowerment community.
