Winners to be announced in early May 2023 in Amboise.
Pathways for the Future
The Skellig Foundation’s Da Vinci Project was conceived as our way to mark the 500th Anniversary of Da Vinci’s death in Amboise on May 2, 1519. To honour this great genius, and commemorate his spirit of curiosity, creativity and invention, we wish to search for ideas from young people with different backgrounds and disciplines that will, hopefully, trigger some totally novel discussions, and enable the development of a step change by the power of “Meitheal” (Gaelic word associated with a collective effort). We aspire to highlight new ideas from young people that re-examine the method of Da Vinci as a means to reset Modernity and build pathways to the Planet of the Future.
Our competition entrants will be asked to consider: ”What solutions would Leonardo suggest now to the world’s political, business, cultural and religious leaders in the face of the existential challenges arising from earth’s rapidly changing climatic conditions?”
Applications details etc for the Climate “Solutions” competition can be found at the ZEALOUS.COM link noted above. Other information and updates about the Competition will be available soon here http://skelligleonardo.org
