The Living Earth Eco-Innovation Challenge
For students ages 14-25. The Living Earth Eco-Innovation Challenge welcomes a variety of arts and innovation STEAM projects and academic papers, encouraging holistic, earth-friendly, and life-affirming eco-projects with local and global action to better planet, society, and humanity.
Bio-intelligent design and eco-entrepreneurialism is a rapidly growing field around the world as science, business, and culture face the impacts of climate change. Now more than ever, eco-philosophy is a guiding light, uniting all peoples and the more-than-human world in eco-innovation for a bright future.
This program can be integrated into a class for eco-education, run as a school club, or used by individuals.

Become Co-Creators with the Living Earth
Explore the wonders of eco-innovation, build design skills, and cultivate global friendships while rising to the challenges of our times! This is a call to youth across the globe, inviting you into a learning journey inspired by the interdependence, beauty, and creativity of the Living Earth.
Young visionaries are invited to dream, create, and illuminate a path to a bright future by developing eco-projects that are based on the principles of ecological civilization and living earth philosophy. Central to this program is the concept of holistic ecology, which expresses the traditional wisdom of world traditions, reflecting a convergent view where the harmony between humanity and nature is revered, the interconnectedness of all beings is affirmed, and the living life of the earth is acknowledged.
A Learning Journey
Through a creative journey, young participants are guided to see ecology not merely as environmental stewardship but as a civilization shift—a way of life that honors Earth’s resilience, diversity, and beauty. They are encouraged to blend personal gifts with shared wisdom, applying creativity, culture, design, and technology in ways that support collective well-being. Gathering the resources and insights of global thought leaders, this program cultivates an “eco-innovation” that moves from ego to eco—from self-centered pursuits to a deep, embodied understanding of interconnection.
Living Earth Awards
Young visionaries of the Living Earth Eco-Innovation Challenge create a formal presentation of their eco-project for the Youth Forum at the International Forum for Ecological Civilization, the first and most influential international gathering for ecological civilization held in the United States since 2006. Three rounds of presentations online and at the Youth EcoForum determine nominations and awards based on competency rather than competition. These prestigious awards are judged by leading eco-innovators from around the world.

Cross-Cultural, Intergenerational Co-Creation
Living Earth Co-Creative offers community-centered learning and mentorship to guide participants in integrating ecological thinking, Living Earth philosophy, and the principles of ecological civilization into their projects and presentations. This structure encourages youth to value the process as much as the outcome, nurturing dynamic relationships that enrich lifelong learning and collaboration. Through exposure to global perspectives, a deepened eco-consciousness, and values rooted in harmony and peace, students are able to meet complex challenges with resilience and vision. For those who participate, this program offers not just an award and prestigious recognition, but a journey into the heart of ecological civilization and Living Earth philosophy—a journey to restore our world and reimagine our place within the web of life.
