ABOUT BYEE

PROPOSAL FORMAT AND RELATED RULES

The Bayer Young Environmental Envoy (BYEE) is a global

environmental education program for the youth organized by
Bayer and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
with the aim of developing young environmental leaders and
boosting the level of environmental awareness among the youth.
Originally initiated in 1998 as a local project in Thailand, BYEE
concept was subsequently extended to 19 countries in Africa,
Latin America and Asia, including Indonesia. Entering its 10th
year in Indonesia, BYEE invites young Indonesians to come up
with practical solution for environmental protection.

2. The proposal should not exceed 10 pages in total. Any relevant

graphic, photos, or diagram must be incorporated in the
proposal, NOT in separate files.
3. Project proposals which are adaptations/upgrades of already
existing projects are acceptable, but the entry will be judged
solely on the basis of new elements introduced and their added
value.
4. Pre-existing work or accomplishments prior to the official
start-up date will not be given any credit.
5. While the project proposal should be the applicants own
concept, the project itself may be carried out by any number
of people, with the applicant taking significant role in its
implementation.
6. Incomplete entries will not be processed.

Deserving students from all over Indonesia will be selected to be

Bayer Young Environmental Envoys (BYEE) and will participate
in a live-in Eco-Camp held in a local venue. The top two envoys
will join youth delegates from 19 other countries around the world
on a weeklong all-expense paid trip to Germany on November
10 - 15, 2013. It will be an opportunity to gain new insights on the
broad spectrum of environmental protection measures employed
by industry, municipalities, and the state environmental authorities
in Germany.
