Be part of it

Do you wish to be one of the “Young Talents” that meet the international laureates in Freiburg? Then please apply before January 10th to secure one of the desired spots.

Who can participate?

Anyone between 16 and 28 with an interest in environmental, climate and nature protection. Since the Young Talents Day will be held in English, your English skills should have a conversational level. Don't worry, most winners are not native speakers of English, so your English doesn't need to be perfect. If you are under 18, a parental consent is required.

Preparing for the Young Talents Day

A preparation day takes place on February 4th 2017, from 9.30am to 3.00pm at the UWC Freiburg. The participation in the preparation day is compulsory for the “Young Talents” partner institutions, that is for students of schools of the Regional Council of Freiburg, students of the Freiburg University and students of the UWC Freiburg.

For those who apply directly at the European Environment Foundation, the participation is voluntary since they possibly have a longer journey to Freiburg.

Anyone unable to participate in the preparation day will receive a preparation handout for the Young Talents Day on February 4th via e-mail.
