Volvo Adventure is an education programme for young people between 10 and 16 years of age. Organized in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the programme is designed to heighten environmental awareness and encourage environmental activities among the decision makers of the future. Environmental projects designed to improve the local environment are undertaken by groups numbering a maximum of five.
The best projects are invited to attend the Volvo Adventure Award conference in Göteborg, May 6-10, 2005. The conference will enable the students to share ideas with other young people from all over the world. The three best entries will receive grants to continue the project work.
