MyCOE Global Connections and Exchange Program
The MyCOE GCE program connected high school students in the U.S. with their peers abroad in Bolivia, Ghana, Nicaragua and the Philippines through virtual online meetings. These meetings were arranged through online video conferences, online phone calls and chat rooms. Students also developed youth-led sustainable development projects around themes of climate change, food security, green economy, hazards and vulnerability and youth leadership, and presented these projects during the MyCOE Digital Video Conference, held during the 2013 AAG Annual Meeting in Los Angeles, California.
MyCOE / SERVIR Fellow - Mentor Program for GIS and Biodiversity in Africa
Interdisciplinary and multi-sectoral teams of university students and their mentors are using geographic techniques for research applications around protected areas, threatened species, and conservation in Africa. This program has worked to build the geographic technology capacity in Africa to protect biodiversity using GIS, remote sensing, and geospatial analytical techniques designed for such applications. The effort also helped to strengthen collaboration among the region’s universities, government environmental authorities, and NGOs to encourage multi-institutional and international approaches that address biodiversity and conservation with geography.
