ABOUT BLAKE Inspire
BLAKE Inspire is an action-packed week for Year 11-13 students who will spend the week working alongside scientists, environmental experts, and a diverse range of leaders to develop strong leadership skills, while learning about important environmental issues and how they can take action to tackle them.
Participation, adventure, and learning are all key requirements for delegates. They will take part in environmental and marine science activities and visit businesses and local organisations to learn about what they are doing to reduce their impact on the environment.
Most importantly, students spend the week with other like-minded young people, leaving BLAKE Inspire with new friends, stories, and action plans to start driving positive change within their own schools and communities.
Students must be 16 or older when attending the programme.
Applications close Sunday 15 March, 11.59 pm. To apply visit BLAKE’s website.
For more information email the Programme Manager at ginny@blakenz.org or phone the BLAKE office on 027 313 9550.
Ngā mihi nui,
BLAKE
Ngā mihi to the BLAKE team for their ongoing work supporting young environmental leaders in Aotearoa, and to Janie Stevenson for sharing this opportunity with the Bay Science community. |
