About

In 2022, WeGO successfully launched its youth program, the WeGO Smart City Champions to encourage young leaders from all around the world to be a part of the transformation towards smart and sustainable cities. This year WeGO will expand the geographical scope of the program by making the learning from the program into a hybrid format. 

An online course with eight (8) lectures is available for all students interested via www.cityresiliencetraining.com. Those interested are requested to complete viewing the lectures to receive a certificate of completion from WeGO.  

The in-person sessions, on the other hand, will be held in six cities around the world: Baku (Azerbaijan), Munich (Germany), Geneva (Switzerland), Athens (Greece), Milan (Italy), and Los Angeles (USA).
