 Switzerland</a></strong> is a tuition free program for teenage girls 15-17 
 years old and is one of the expeditions offered by <em><a href="http://www.
 inspiringgirls.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Inspiring Girls Expediti
 ons</a></em>. We run wilderness science expeditions different from typical 
 technical mountaineering courses or science "summer camps" in that we truly
  integrate the wilderness challenge with the intellectual challenge. Inspir
 ing Girls Expeditions are taught by teams of professional scientists, artis
 ts, and mountain guides.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Girls on Ice Sw
 itzerland is hosting an <strong>instructor workshop</strong> for future exp
 edition leaders. We also want to inspire new partner programs to expand Ins
 piring Girls Expeditions to other languages, countries and regions, so we c
 an offer this experience to more girls. Erin Pettit, the founder and direct
 or of Inspiring Girls Expeditions, will be in Switzerland to lead this work
 shop.<br /> <br />We are looking for female <strong>scientists</strong> who
  are interested in teaching existing Inspiring Girls Expeditions, or who ar
 e interested in taking leadership roles in developing new programs based on
  the successful Inspiring Girls philosophy. For example:<br />- Girls on Ic
 e: in your language/country<br />- Girls on Rivers / in Rain Forest / on Vo
 lcanoes / in Snow / ... : linking kayaking, mountaineering, hiking, skiing 
 with geomorphology, ecology, chemistry, physics, geology or snow science.<b
 r /> <br />Also - if you are an <strong>artist or guide</strong> who is int
 erested in teaming up with a scientist to develop a program, we can provide
  help with connecting potential leadership teams.<br /> <br />Please visit
