Bayer - Young Enviromental Envoy

How to apply

Bayer Young Environmental Envoy, Singapore

If you are a student between 17 to 24 years old, Singaporean citizen with a passion for the environment, you can take up the challenge to become a Bayer Young Environmental Envoy (BYEE).

BYEE

The BYEE is a global environment education program for the youth organized by Bayer and the United Nations Environment Programme with the aim of developing young environmental leaders and boosting the level of environmental awareness among the youth.

Twelve deserving students from Singapore will be selected to be Bayer Young Environmental Envoys (BYEEs) and will be invited to join a youth environmental leadership camp in Singapore from 18 to 20 June 2010. The top four Bayer Young Environmental Envoys will join youth delegates from 18 other countries on a weeklong, all-expense paid study trip to Germany in November 2010. It will be an opportunity to gain new insights on the broad spectrum of environmental protection measures employed by industry, municipalities, and the state environmental authorities in Germany.

How To Join?

Write your individual proposal (not more than 1,000 words) for a simple environmental project which demonstrates environmental protection linked to the concept of Sustainable Development.

Identify and describe a current situation with environment-related problems in your community/school/country.
Name a few practical solutions to the problem that either government/industry/NGOs or your school/community has so far carried out.
Draw up an individual project that you intend to do, or are already in the process of doing but have yet to complete, which can help alleviate this problem, and state the objectives and deliverables of your project.
Indicate resource requirements like budget, manpower, facilities, as well as institutions/groups involved, making sure that all necessary resources are within your reach. Compare resources and costs with the benefits you expect to gain.
Explain how this project can be beneficial for both Singapore and the environment.
