Leonardo 4 Children 2021: Climate action & gender equality

 

Following the success of the previous editions in 2019 and 2020, the Carano 4 Children foundation has launched the “Leonardo 4 Children 2021: Climate Action and Gender Equality” non-profit initiative, aiming to empower children and young people across Europe to contribute to address the issues of climate change and gender discrimination, while supporting children in need through art and science education.

The non-profit initiative “Leonardo 4 Children” includes competitions which represent a kind of “Nobel prize” for children. In fact, if Leonardo da Vinci were reborn today, 500 years after his death, he would not need to solve the problems of discovering the functioning of human body, or inventing ways to make man flying, or inventing machines: he would likely focus on using creativity to solve global problems to improve the quality of our lives. We encourage children and young people to develop their creativity and become the new Leonardo’s of 21st century:

“Every child can be a genius !”

“Leonardo 4 Children 2021” Awards

The initiative includes three awards at European scale, open to children and young people resident in one of the 27 EU Member States. Contributions from children and young people living in the UK, Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein, Iceland, Serbia, Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia and Kosovo are welcome and will receive a specific mention.

Several webinars have been organised in January-March 2021 for teachers, parents and interested children/teenagers: see presentation.

Join the 2021 STEM Discovery Campaign, a joint international initiative organised by Scientix, that invites projects, organisations, libraries, schools, universities and youth clubs across Europe and around the world, to celebrate careers and studies in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

The tagline for this year’s campaign is Sustainability and Citizenship We believe it’s the time to take action and encourage every stakeholder involved in education to organise activities that will increase students’ awareness about these topics, highlighting relevant skills that students will need in the near future.

We encourage everyone to get involved in the 2021 STEM Discovery Campaign by organisingSTEM activities and featuring them on the STEM Discovery Campaign map! Here are some ideas of what you can do to contribute to one of the biggest STEM campaigns worldwide:
