THE BRITISH COUNCIL ARE LOOKING FOR THE BRIGHTEST, BOLDEST AND BEST MINDS IN EUROPE.  HAVE YOU GOT WHAT IT TAKES?

Climate change is real.

Something needs to be done to make a difference and accelerate change towards a Low Carbon Future.  The time to stop talking and to start acting is NOW.

The British Council and its local partners are looking for bright young people from the island of Ireland who can make this happen.

WHO

Are you aged between 18 and 35?  Can you commit approximately 12 hours of your time each month over the next year?

WHAT           

If selected, you will be offered the chance to explore solutions to climate challenges with other bold and bright people across the island of Ireland and Europe. You will participate in local and international visits and study tours, develop long-lasting networks, interact with leaders, public figures and specialists from different sectors of society, share best practice across Europe and promote unique ideas that will accelerate change to a Low Carbon society. 

Although participation is voluntary, we will provide you with opportunities to learn from the best and to develop your knowledge, expertise and influence.
