Details to come

Earth Charter Indiana (ECI) will be utilizing the National Geographic Society’s Slingshot Challenge as a project based learning project for our youth leaders across Indiana.

The goal of the program is for cohorts to receive first hand experiences with impacted and thriving communities in a means to reimagine systems around them. The cohorts will meet with community members, scientists, historians, storytellers, artists and elders of all ages and experiences. Taking a truly intergenerational approach. 

The Slingshot Challenge invites 13–18-year-olds to rise to the challenge, and to submit a 1-minute video describing their idea for solving environmental issues for a chance to receive up to $10,000 in funding.
