The Experiment Digital Virtual Exchange: The Environment

Designed to connect hundreds of young people across the United States with peers in the Latin America (LATAM) region, such as Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, and Venezuela.

The Experiment Digital The Environment prepares participants to be more civically engaged and lead change. This fully funded eight-week virtual experience teaches high school students to understand the environmental issues in communities around the world and complete a final project that proposes a solution.

Students come away from the program with:

• Deepened understanding of the intersection of society and environmental impacts;

• Hands-on experience in environmental sustainability;

• Leadership and communications skills; and

• Friendships with peers from different countries and cultures.
