Wavemakers United

Wavemakers United is an online platform that educates the youth about challenges in water, energy and food sectors. All with a mindset of positive energy!

Wavemakers United is an online platform where we aim to educate the youth within local communities about the functions and values of water. Students, young professionals and athletes become ambassadors who can learn about worldwide water challenges and solutions. We aim to create awareness by an approach of local to global to local, where youth in their local communities access the platform and learn from other water enthusiasts about worldwide challenges and solutions building a global network of ‘Wavemakers’. Then, with that knowledge they are able to take action in their local communities.

💥 Happy 2026! A year that marks our 10-year anniversary!

A decade of learning, listening, and working together across borders to address one of the world’s most urgent challenges: water.

A special ’s message from Founder & Managing Director, Tilly Stroo:

“When we wish each other a healthy and safe New Year, we often don’t realise how crucial water is to both. Health. Safety. Prosperity, They all begin with water.

For me, 2026 is a very special and emotional year. It is a year of working with a new generation of leaders and academics from around the world and the year I step down as Director, passing Wavemakers United to the next generation. As we celebrate 10 years, it feels like the right moment to hand over the baton.

A heartfelt thanks to our sponsors, partners, athletes, and Wavemakers from across the globe. You made the past 10 years possible! 🙏 “

— Tilly Stroo, Founder of Wavemakers United

With starting today, we realise how much and how little can change in three years, when we as Wavemakers attended the COP last. People and positions shift, but the urgency of our climate goals remains.

Back then, we spoke with leaders about actions beyond the so called ‘blue-zones’, where all the decisions are made during (Climate) Conferences — And we called it ‘Out of the Blue’.

At the time, etten, then Minister for Climate, shared a vision of teamwork and collaboration. Now, with his party’s election victory and the prospect of new leadership for the Netherlands, there’s renewed optimism that words can turn into meaningful progress.

As COP30 begins today, let’s turn ambition into action and approach the climate goals like the Olympic Games; urgency, technology, clear goals and measurable results. And only through teamwork and shared effort can we make the next three years count.

Let’s get the action going zones!

💧 If we can clean the Seine for three days of swimming… what’s next? 👀

Three historic days of swimming in the Seine during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games have sparked a much-needed global movement: to make urban waters clean, safe, and accessible for all.

This week, Rotterdam took center stage as host of the Summit, where experts, advocates, practitioners, and decision-makers came together to catalyze a new wave for urban swimming.

As Wavemakers United, we were honored to both open the event—led by Oumaima Ouaissa—and close it with an inspiring message from van der Vaart.

We also hosted two moderated sessions on water literacy, featuring Tilly Stroo and Lucas Vroom (Municipality of Rotterdam). Together, we sparked dialogue - mostly about wast accessibility for all means - and shared concrete ideas. One big takeaway?

➡️ Start simple: Even if your city has never done it before—just try, test and learn cause we need to adapt now!

The summit was just the beginning.
We expanded our network, connected with global water professionals, and left inspired by the energy of this growing movement. And we’re especially excited that this work won’t stop in Rotterdam.

🚀 What’s next?
We’re partnering with the Municipality of Rotterdam to give guest lectures at local schools, raising awareness around clean urban water and access. Even more: we’re making Swimmable Cities a core focus across all our Waves moving forward.

Thanks to everyone who made this possible!

We’re just getting started!

Wavemaker Emma Gavrilov wins Wetskills Indonesia 2025! 💥💧

During the Netherlands–Indonesia Economic Mission , several teams of talented students and young professionals worked on a problem solving water related case. Emma, student from HZ University of Applied Sciences (Global Project & Change Management), won their case together with her team!

The winning case was created by case owners
PDAM TIRTANADI SUMATERA UTARA , WaterWorX and Water Footprint Implementation , who offer companies a practical and credible way to offset their water use while contributing to sustainable water management. These projects focus on identifying and repairing leaks and
inefficiencies in the water supply system, leading to significant reductions in water losses and
improved available of water resources.

Their case therefore was;
“how can we attract investors to invest here in Semarang and make our offerings more appealing”?

Meinke van Ginniken , Special Envoy for Water of the Netherlands had the honour to award the winners!

Congrats Emma and Team! let’s work towards implementation of sustainable water management!

This incredible 30-day journey covers 360 km, from the source of the Scheldt to the North Sea, uniting citizens, students, farmers, mayors, and more – all standing up for the future of clean and healthy rivers . 💧

Our participation today was a powerful reminder of what the Foundation quoted earlier this month:

“Change is never a solo effort. It happens when we stand together, lift each other up, and keep moving forward as one.”

We couldn’t agree more and that’s why Wavemakers United, part of theTauw Foundation Dream Project, joined the Scheldt Walk today.

But our contribution doesn’t stop here today! Tomorrow at the we will celebrate the finish of this the River Walk by a presentation and we are already counting down for the in Rotterdam in June!
