Mission

The mission of the Earth Charter Initiative is to promote the transition to sustainable ways of living and a global society founded on a shared ethical framework that includes respect and care for the community of life, ecological integrity, universal human rights, respect for diversity, economic justice, democracy, and a culture of peace.

Special Projects Fund Activity Reports

In October 2008 Earth Charter International called for applications for our Special Projects Fund, generously funded by Plan Netherlands. The Vision for the Fund is that Earth Charter Youth Groups organize events that engage youth and promote dialogue and action for a more just, sustainable, and peaceful world.

We received 16 high quality project proposals from Earth Charter Youth Groups all around the world and after a careful selection, decided to fund the following 6 youth groups:

Congo - ECYG AZUR Development

Togo - Togolese Foundation for Peace

Belarus - ECYG Youth International Club "NEWLINE"

Peru - Asociacion Peruana de Escultismo

Canada - Cowichan Intercultural Society Youth Projects

Nigeria - ECYG Calabar


Now you can read their activity reports online and leave your comments for the specific projects!

Thank you for the great work done!
