All three speakers are also recipients of highly competitive and prestigious full-scholarships at the University of Cambridge in the UK. This webinar is part of our âWomen in Conservationâ initiative to build capacity among women in the nature conservation and sustainability field.
đAt the end of the 3-hour webinar, students will learn about
1. Controversies concerning fairness and justice surrounding some incentive-based compensation schemes.
2. The role gender plays in the fight against climate change
3. Estimating carbon emissions from daily activities and ways to actively reduce carbon footprint.
đ˝ď¸Video Competition
Following the Teach-in event on March 29, 2023, students will be able to participate in a video competition to raise awareness about behavioral change. Seasonal festivities tend to be the times when people are more open to changing behavior. These videos aim to raise awareness and encourage people to adopt eco-friendly behaviors during the traditional Burmese new year.
đ°There are three prizes: Gold - $300, Silver -$200, and Bronze - $100. The videos that meet all competition criteria will be featured on Parami Universityâs social media platforms.
đMore importantly, many prestigious scholarship winners, such as Fullbright, Chevening, and Australia Awards, have built their profile by winning smaller awards like this before applying for prestigious scholarships and top-ranked universities. Thus, this competition can be the first step in a long journey for any aspiring scholarship applicant.
