The Rustic Pathways Critical Issues Summit is a two-week experience in Southeast Asia that will bring together 100 youth changemakers from more than 20 countries around the world. Students will spend the first week examining one of five global critical issues in local communities. The second week will bring all students together for a conference-style event focusing on skill-building workshops, feature issue experts, and will culminate in a social innovation challenge that will award the winning team $10,000.
One of my friends works for Rustic Pathways and wanted to share this opportunity with you all since she knows your experiences with creating community service projects, participating in exchange programs and your stellar English skills.
More good news - there are 15 full scholarships to participate in the summit!
