Can students around the world save the e nvironment? Volvo thinks so and is willing to reward teams of kids working together to solve environmental problems. Thus was born The Volvo Adventure Competition in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme. It is an educational program that rewards environmental activities performed by groups of students. The competition is divided into two age groups: ages 13 to 16 and 10 to 12.
The Volvo Adventure Competition for ages 13 to 16 (at competition opening - July 1st), consists of teams of 2 to 5 members. Perform an environmental project in your local community and submit the project via the online submission tool before the competition deadline, January 31st 2011. Projects from past Volvo Adventure Competitions are posted online along with more information about the competition. http://www.volvoadventure.org/home.aspx
Projects are judged and the best projects are selected for an all expenses paid trip to Göteborg, Sweden where they can win: 1st place = $10,000 2nd = $6,000 and 3rd = $4,000.
