What is Sirb?

Sirb is more than just a program—it’s a journey into the heart of nature, a call to action, and a community of young changemakers ready to make a difference. Over the course of two immersive weeks, high school students from across Egypt will explore the wonders of biodiversity, unravel the connections between ecosystems, and discover their role in shaping a sustainable future.

Through interactive discussions, expert-led workshops, and hands-on challenges, participants will dive deep into the science of conservation, gaining the knowledge and skills to become environmental leaders. Whether tracing the delicate threads of the web of life, investigating the impact of human activity on the planet, or designing solutions for real-world environmental challenges, every moment in Sirb is an opportunity to learn, grow, and take action.

Supported by Ocean Wise as part of an Ocean Action Project, Sirb is for the dreamers, the doers, the explorers. It’s for those who see beauty in the natural world and want to protect it. If you’re ready to take flight and join a movement for change, Sirb is your launchpad.
