March For Science (MFS) is bringing together youth leaders and institutions from around the world to discuss solutions to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and how the next generation of leadership is spearheading global advocacy. In partnership with EarthX, the MFS Global Youth Forum will live-stream interviews, panels, poetry slams, short videos, and storytellers that highlight initiatives, campaigns, and policies impacting communities across the globe.
March For Science, the world’s largest grassroots network of science advocates will host 250 youth leaders and climate activists from around the globe April 24-26, 2020 at EarthX. Youth ages 14-26 are eligible to apply to the Summit and participate in workshops, panels, networking, and experiences brought to you by youth leaders from organizations such as Sunrise Movement, Zero Hour, Earth Guardians, Earth Uprising, Fridays for Future USA, XR Youth, and more. Modeled after the MFS Media zone produced at the UN Youth Climate Summit in New York, MFSYS will host a day-long media zone at EarthX on April 26, featuring panels and interviews with renowned youth leaders and UN Ambassadors.
Please forward this opportunity to any interested students and share them on your social media.
