Have you heard of EarthEco? EarthEcho is an international organisation building a global youth movement to protect, restore and shed light on the enooormous (70% of the Earth's surface) and incredibly important to all life on Earth part of our planet: the oceans!
Operating successfully in the US, this year EarthEco is bringing a fantastic opportunity to schools in the UK with the OurEco Challenge!
What is the OurEco Challenge? It is a STEM contest that empowers young changemakers to take a closer look at biodiversity in their communities. Young leaders will first identify threats to local ecosystems and then propose solutions to help preserve, protect, or restore those natural resources, with a chance to win amazing grants!
The applications for the 2023-24 school term will open will open to youth in the UK, ages 13-16, at the end of January.
