Link to Apply:
With the “Young Global Changers Recoupling Awards” the Global Solutions Initiative aims to identify, recognize and reward young changemakers from all over the world who contribute actively towards a better alignment – a “recoupling” – of economic prosperity with environmental sustainability and the needs and demands of societies, communities and individuals.
The award seeks to recognize concrete practices and impactful youth-led projects and initiatives that drive change on the ground, while also serving as examples and inspiration beyond their immediate impact. Projects can be social enterprises as well as youth-led nonprofit initiatives.
The awards offer the chance to join the Young Global Changers Extended Circle, Young Global Changers Community, or the opportunity to receive a full scholarship to join the Global Solutions Summit in Berlin where you can present your project to a jury and global audience!
