The BNE Awards aim to create a link between young people and the world of sustainable projects, through collaborative initiatives rooted in school, educational or associative contexts.
They aim to :
- encourage creative and innovative ESD projects by and for young people
- give young people the opportunity to put their own vision of sustainable development into practice, by showcasing the knowledge and skills they are passionate about.
- boost motivation by supporting the creation of rewarding, self-efficient experiences
- promote the diversity of the projects carried out, highlight their authors, encourage exchanges and inspire new initiatives through a snowball effect
- actively contribute to a more sustainable future through actions that have a real impact on the environment
