British Council: Challenge Europe programme - open for new applicant

Dear All

The British Council are now looking for individuals to join their growing international programme 'Challenge Europe'. This is an amazing opportunity to create and develop your own environmental projects while building a valuable network of like-minded people across Europe and the world. The deadline for applications is different for each country, so I would recommend taking a look at the British Council website below for more information.

"In each of the participating countries we will select 15-20 young people from all walks of life to become ‘Climate Advocates’. In exchange for the chance to participate in the project, Climate Advocates are asked to commit approximately 150 hours of their time. Over the period of one year each country team will work collaboratively to identify the key areas where they think they can make a real difference and to develop three concrete ideas to reduce carbon use through changes in policy, business or human behaviour.

The groups will then pitch their ideas to broader publics, specifically reaching out to decision-makers and organisations, campaigning for implementation and support in an effort to make the ideas become reality."

Good luck with your application.
