Four local NGOs (DPNA, LCAC, UTOPIA and YOURS) launched a new project in North Lebanon. This project is funded by the US embassy small grants program and aims to train 900 students from four religiously diverse universities (three private and two public) and eight schools (four private and four public) in Tripoli (North Lebanon). The project is about environmental preservation and resulted in 13 environmental clubs. The universities and schools will launch a competition among the different clubs. In addition to that an advanced training for 26 students will be initiated for a time scale of eight days.
At the end of the project a youth camp that will regroup all environmental clubs resulting from their respective projects will be organized. This camp will allow students to exchange acquired information, learn to cooperate and network with each other. The youth camp will result in proposing a joint initiative from all participants and to come up with a solution for an environmental problem facing the city of Tripoli.
