The Center for Transboundary Cooperation (CTC) in St. Petersburg in collaboration with the Center for Russian, East European & Eurasian Studies (CREES) of University of Kansas in Lawrence, USA, is implementing an international project "Eco-Reps: Peer-to-Peer Sustainability Outreach".

"Eco-Reps" in our project is short for "Eco-representatives".

 

We are looking for interested individuals/teams, who are English-speaking and 18-30 years old, from all over the North-West Russia, willing to:

  • learn about the most recent developments and findings in the sphere of sustainable development, green and circular economy;
  • share their knowledge with peers and communities;
  • find peers with mutual interests and understanding of sustainability in USA;
  • create and implement a mini-project on sustainability within their communities, institutions, universities. The projects can be developed by individuals or teams of up to 4 people.

 

With this project, CTC-SPb and CREES plan to engage young people in sustainability projects in order to prepare future designers, engineers, and business and community leaders to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable economy, both in the Russian Federation and the United States.

 

Project participants will get an opportunity to attend 4 two-hour webinars (free of charge), submit their sustainability project and, if awarded, participate in a study visit to Kansas, USA. 

The project runs from September 2014 till June 2015.

If you decide to join the project, you will need to participate in all project events and activities according to the schedule:
