Girls on Ice Switzerland is accepting applications for two 2020 expeditions: Girls on Ice Schweiz and Girls on Ice Suisse.

This exceptional, unique, and completely free experience is aimed at girls between 15 - 17 years old who are motivated and interested in nature,  specifically glaciers. Technical mountain equipment, outdoor clothing, and other gear is provided by the organisation for you to use on the expedition.

Each summer, Inspiring Girls Expeditions leads tuition-free multi-day expeditions for high school girls that interweave science, art, and backcountry travel. Our expeditions are led by professional women scientists, artists, and wilderness guides. Throughout each expedition, the team engages in scientific and artistic inquiry about the environment around them. In small groups, participants design and conduct scientific projects, which they present to the public on the last full day of their expeditions.

Girls on Ice Schweiz will take place 10-20 July 2020, and all participants must be fluent in the German language (at least a level B2, preferably C1 or higher).

Girls on Ice Suisse will take place 20-30 July 2020, and all participants must be fluent in the French language (at least a level B2, preferably C1 or higher). Strong preference is given to applicants living in or near Switzerland.
