YRE Alumni
Inspiring youth leaders
Our YRE Alumni are a group of inspiring individuals who have showed a particular interest and engagement in the YRE programme. Some have represented YRE at international conferences, some are assisting their YRE National Operators, some have won a first place prize in the International YRE Competition. Common to all of them is that they are local youth leaders who are raising their voices concerning environmental issues.

Student - Information and Communication Technology
I am a student at Ahmedabad University in India pursuing my Bachelor of Technology in Information and Communication Technology. I have been involved with many different environmental and leadership initiatives in my university and I enjoy learning about sustainability and how technology can be used to achieve sustainable development. In 2019, I was given the opportunity to travel to Thailand to participate in the 10th World Environmental Education Congress as a YRE. I am currently in the pre-final year of my degree course and pursuing a career that combines technology and the environment.
