Iraqi High schools Environmental champions and advocates: The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad invites eligible organizations to submit proposals to implement a project to support and develop committed young environment champions through Ecology Action groups focused on activities in high schools in Baghdad. The program implementer will create Eco Action Clubs or related organized extra curriculum groups at their schools. The implementer will also design the curriculum and the program. The Eco Action Clubs will be supporting student and faculty input in development of ecological activities. The opportunity will support targeted activities of the Eco Action Clubs to amplify efforts to combat climate change. The programs will serve to promote environmental diplomacy by building champions in climate advocacy for youth as well as youth leadership skills to carry out their initiatives. The Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad seeks proposals for a project called “Iraqi High School Eco Action Clubs.” The proposed project will consist of establishing and managing Eco Action Clubs in conjunction with six high schools in Baghdad and its surrounding areas. The implementer will identify and develop 60-100 young environmental champions from these school clubs. The implementer will be responsible to the school’s outreach and facilitate the Iraqi Ministry of Education required approvals. This program will prepare high school students to advocate for environmental reform and raise awareness to protect the environment in Baghdad, the most populated city in Iraq. The program implementer will work with the participating schools to create Eco Action Clubs through volunteerism amongst high school students. The grantee will select 60-100 students targeted school-aged youth with teachers, highlighting and advocating conservation and management of the environment and climate. Specifically, the grantee will work with the participating schools, and the U.S. Embassy will approve venues.
