Earth Charter Guiding Leaders Towards Sustainability Action


NOTE THAT THE APPLICATION DEADLINE WAS ON AUGUST 31ST 2009!

e-GLO 2, Earth Charter Global Learning Opportunity, is a semester-long, online sustainability leadership course inspired by the Earth Charter.

Starting September 19th, e-GLO 2 will be offered to 20-30 motivated community development leaders aged 15-33 from around the world. Priority will be given to youth leaders already engaged with the Earth Charter community; however, a few places will be reserved for leaders new to the Earth Charter. Participants will meet every other Saturday, 4 pm GMT, via webcam and mic in e-GLO’s own virtual conference environment.

The purpose of this course is to make a positive impact on society by familiarizing local level Earth Charter youth activists with sustainability leadership skills and shared ethics. Furthermore, this course will equip them with innovative skills in sustainability project planning, management and fundraising, as well as facilitating the effective use of new media. The ultimate aim is to further develop the capabilities necessary to conduct Earth Charter inspired action projects in the participants’ own communities.

The 3-hour-long online sessions will cover introductions, workshops, interviews with expert guests, participant presentations on local projects and e-GLO collaborative projects. e-GLO's finale will be a live, interactive and multi-media event. It will celebrate participants' accomplishments and be open to the public.

e-GLO 2 participants will have the opportunity to:

• learn more about the Earth Charter
• network with other young Earth Charter activists from around the world
• receive mentorship and support with local action projects from other participants as well as from our experienced team
• gain new skills in sustainability leadership, project planning and fundraising
• have a great time while making a difference
