Congratulations to all seven exceptional young scholars that have been awarded the “Youth for the SDGs” Scholarship that joined Peace Boat’s 100th Global Voyage. They sailed from Ushuaia, Argentina to Valparaiso, Chile, passing through the Patagonia fjords from February 18th to the 28th. The scholars joinied from all over the world, including youth from Saint Martin island to New York City to Chile. As the Peace Boat sailed from port to port, the scholars brought their intensive, specialized knowledge of their field in sustainability to the conversations taking place on the boat. The scholars had the unique opportunity to engage with other academics and activists from around the world, taking part in informative workshops while marveling at the Andes Mountains, glaciers and the green plains of Patagonia. You can read more about this project on the Peace Boat website or download the brochure here.
