By driving impactful campaigns and initiatives, the programme inspires young individuals to take meaningful action for a sustainable future, fostering a positive and lasting influence on society.

Eco-Internship Programme

Launched in 2009, this programme engages young people in environmental conservation and sustainability. Its main goal is to educate and inspire students and young professionals to take meaningful action for the environment by providing practical experience and opportunities for skill development and knowledge in environmental science, conservation and sustainable development.

Training sessions led by experts cover a range of topics including natural resource conservation, sustainable resource consumption, eco-preneurship, climate change, disaster management and green energy. Professional development modules, such as time management and conflict resolution, are also included.

As part of the Eco-Internship Programme, students are encouraged to complete community service projects focused on creating sustainable solutions for environmental challenges. Participants gain a deep understanding of environmental issues and are motivated to contribute to global conservation efforts.
