Aiming to inspire young people with brilliant ideas, but without the resources to bring them to life; UNICEF, USAID, UNDP, the Egyptian ScoutsPlan International and the British Council have the pleasure to invite you to participate in the Youth Challenge 3.0. The Youth Challenge in Egypt is supported by the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the Ministry of Education and Technical Education, and the Ministry of Environment.

The Youth Challenge is a global initiative that supports young people to realize their full potential as they tackle the world’s most pressing issues. This year we are inviting 1200 teams to share their climate change solutions and compete for seed funding and coaching by world-renowned climate experts. The 2 winning teams will represent Egypt in the Global Youth Challenge, competing with teams from 36 countries.  

You will have to form a team of 5 young people and apply by submitting your original climate change solution, which should demonstrate potential to address gender inequalities and other forms of discrimination. Apply no later than June 17!
