YEP Conference – Cairns, Australia

by Florence Beffa (Pangaea India Expedition Young Explorer)

On Wednesday the 25th of May, during school assembly, I had the opportunity to do a presentation about YEP in front of my whole school. It was great being able to talk in front of 1’000 students about my experience of being a Young Explorer and having participated in the Indian Expedition.

After the assembly plenty of students and teachers told me it was very inspiring and interesting. I’m pretty sure I’ve achieved my goal which was to motivate as many students as possible to apply for the next expedition. A big number of students came to me to let me know they were going to try to take part in this amazing program. It is truly amazing to share this experience I had with my whole school even if it’s a little bit intimidating at the beginning.
