Are you an 18-30 year-old from the UK, the Netherlands, Ireland or Germany who believes that ice caps, like ice cream, are best kept frozen? Then you may want to consider applying to one of the most unique and selective learning experiences we've seen, Ben & Jerry's Climate Change College. This six-month, part-time program is looking for six people willing to complete the course of study, including a ten-day field trip to Greenland, in order to become ambassador's for the World Wildlife Fund's Powerswitch Campaign.

She was there as part of training for Al Gore's Climate Leadership Corps. It was just an unfortunate coincidence that it happened to be during protests in Istanbul. Full story here: http://caugustenborg.wordpress.com/2013/06/25/six-days-in-taksim-istanbul/
