The autumn programme of Dijkwerkers on Tour has been announced! Again this year, the High Water Protection Programme (HWBP) gives you the chance to take a look at projects of other water boards. Register quickly, because full = full!

What is it?

HWBP together with the alliance is organising a number of sessions for up to 35 dyke workers (per session) at various locations around the country. On Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2pm to 4pm. Outside on the dike. No presentations on screens, but practical stories on location, told by the project's experts. We use audio tour technology to minimise ambient noise. Catering is limited to a glass of soda from the back.

How?

To allow as many dyke workers as possible to attend a meeting, you can register for a maximum of 2 sessions. Please note: the aim is for you to learn more about each other's projects. It is therefore not the intention to register for a project of your own water board/project. Take a look in someone else's kitchen! And: full = full, so make sure you register in time.

Locations and themes

To fill the sessions, we have selected a number of topical topics. This is the programme. Is there something interesting among them? Then register quickly!
