CHALLENGE EUROPE

You care about the environment? Are you passionate, curious and want to make a difference to the world?

The British Council is now looking for young people to participate in its European climate change project, Challenge Europe.

Through Challenge Europe, the British Council creates opportunities for young leaders and gives them the support and resources to find positive responses to the climate crisis before it is too late.

In each of the participating countries, we will select15-20young people from all walks of life to become “Climate Advocates”. In exchange for the chance to participate in the project, you are asked to commit approximately150hours of your time. Over the period of one year you will be part of a country team working collaboratively to develop three innovative and practical ideas to reduce carbon use through changes in policy, business or human behaviour. Each team will then share their ideas with the outside world, specifically reaching out to decision-makers and organisations, campaigning for implementation and support in an effort to make the ideas become reality.
