International Climate Challenge

Want to do something about climate change? Want a chance to win a national competition? By starting up your own Eco-Project, you could take part in a nationwide competition aimed at 14-18 year olds.

ICC schools in Kenya met head-to-head with organisations dealing with climate change, to produce a vibrant mix of display and discussion. Recent meetings in Nakuru and Embu played host to almost 1,000 people, including students and teachers from 50 'Gold Award' secondary schools and experts from 20 local and national organisations.

ICC UK Team invites students to a fun workshop-style event in London during Autumn Term 2010. If your Eco-group is just starting up, this is a great opportunity for young people to learn more about sustainability issues and how to take action. Experienced Eco-group members will be also there to hone their skills and get new ideas. We are also planning an exciting live link with students in Kenya during the day to gain inspiration from what they've been doing. Inspiring Young Change-Makers 2010 and an entry form are here, to be returned by e-mail as soon as possible.
