The Children’s Travel Book of the Year will be judged by Phoebe Smith and Dwayne Fields, adventurers from Team #WeTwo and some young people from the foundation. Team #WeTwo run an expedition every year, taking a group of underprivileged young people to key destinations all over the planet. On each expedition, they will be taking part in citizen science: helping with vital research and adding experience to their own CV. Pre-trip they will be ‘paying it forward’ by participating in environmental, conservation, and youth initiatives in their local communities.
