Iam a student aged 19years with more experience about health and environmental sustainability. Currently we are organising for a youth activity program on the national youth day in Uganda under an NGO called Reproductive Health Uganda. With this we enforce and empower youth to maintain green land more effectively. I would like to also engage in the upcoming programs of UNEP.

There's a chance for Moldovan people to be selected at such kind of projects?
Posted 13-11-2014 05:54
Though I missed this opportunity but I can see my colleagues, brothers and sisters around me who have been selected and are working on their projects like SEW and ICT for agriculture. It feels so inspiring to see plans turn into actions. I would like to hear more about the selected projects in coming days. Wishing them all the best :)

@Czarlo, Sure, we would appreciate it if you invite environmentally aware friends around you to the Eco-generation platform so that they can join various events and competitions.
Posted 04-11-2014 09:12
I hope there will be a regional event for the Philippines! I can see MANY new Filipino accounts being active here for the past few months... I think one good way of promoting the platform to other people also is by inviting them to join online events/competitions. ☺ What do you think, Team Eco-gen?
Posted 04-11-2014 02:19
