What: The global adventure programme Volvo Adventure has been launched again this year, in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme. It invites environmental projects that have been undertaken by young people to improve their local environment.

The projects are published on www.volvoadventure.org  and the best projects will be selected for an all-expenses paid trip to Sweden to compete in the Global Finals.  

It is a joint project run by the Volvo Group, Volvo Car Corporation and is recognised by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

Indian teams have had a successful stint in the competition, winning two global finals in the past 5 contests.

The last date for posting projects on the site is January 31, 2008.

Other details
The Volvo Adventure Competition, a global internet-based environmental-education programme is for schoolchildren aged between 13 and 16.

For students who are just starting out, Volvo offers to help with resources to plan and develop their project based on successful past projects. The initial stage of the programme is conducted entirely online and is aimed to combine fun, learning and practical action for young people concerned about the environment.
