Challenge: • Environmental degradation • Lack of education opportunities • The Earth Charter principal: Ecological integrity section 6, 7, and 8 • target network: : young students in secondary schools and universities • We will be working in partnership with REMA (Rwanda environment management agency), ministry of environment, MINEDUC (Ministry of education), Kigali city, RDB (Rwanda development board), UNESCO, UNEP

  3. Project plan • I would like to start an Earth Charter Youth Group (ECYG) in Rwanda, first consisting of the students of secondary schools and university. Once an ECYG is established, we can hold regular gatherings in which members can discuss and plan sustainable projects within the immediate setting (schools and universities) and also for the community at large. • Examples of projects are like workshops/seminars on the Earth Charter, sustainability, and youth leadership to create more awareness and expand group membership.
