Youth Encounter on Sustainabilitly
- YES |
|
|
Inspired by a set of questions arising
from the gap between the 20th century roots of Agenda 21 and the
potential for putting it into action in the 21st century, YES brings
together a diverse group of motivated graduate and upper level
undergraduate students from around the world to intensive and
stimulating discussions on sustainable development. Together, YES
participants examine expert knowledge, share diverse cultural and
disciplinary experiences, collaborate in multi-disciplinary working
groups, and define their roles as future academics and scientists in
the process of sustainable development.
The AGS established
YES as part of its dedication to educate a new generation of leaders
committed to meeting the challenges of sustainable development.
After the program's resounding success in the last years attracting
highly diverse groups of students from all over the world, YES is
continuing with two two-week sessions in July and August in
Braunwald, Switzerland under the leadership of the ETHags Center for
Sustainability at ETH Zurich.
Applications for each summer's
YES sessions are generally due in March. Check the YES Website for current schedule information and
further program details. Full reports on recent sessions are
available on our YES
Reports page. |
