On the Creator Stage, attendees met their social media heroes, enjoyed engaging talks and live podcasts on topics such as AI, content marketing, social media and more – all within a one-of-a-kind festival atmosphere.
#IWSHPlumbingChampions at ISH 2025
As part of the ISH Festival 2025, the IWSH Plumbing Champions program brought together apprentices and young professionals from Australia, Canada, France, Ireland, New Zealand, Spain, the USA and Germany for a truly international project. Together, they renovated plumbing and heating systems for the Kulturwerkstatt “Waggong” in Frankfurt.
The initiative promoted international exchange and gave participants the chance to learn from one another – across borders and cultures.
The project was organised by the International Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Foundation (IWSH) in cooperation with the World Plumbing Council (WPC), with support from the SHK Guild Frankfurt, Messe Frankfurt, and the companies Geberit, Grohe, Buderus and Rothenberger.
This inspiring initiative is a shining example of how global collaboration and skilled craftsmanship can make a lasting impact on local communities.
