Eco-Schools working for sustainable development

Eco-schools: ...challenging long-term aspirations for schools to mainstream learning about sustainable development issues and sustainable practices into everyday school life.

Eco-Schools is an international award programme that guides schools on their sustainable journey, providing a framework to help embed these principles into the heart of school life.

Eco-Schools is one of five environmental education programmes run internationally by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE).

There are 40 countries around the world that run the Eco-Schools programme, linking more than 40,000 schools – from the UK to France, from Morocco to South Africa.

It is now easy for Eco-Schools across the world to get in touch and explore ways of working together on environmental issues. Visit http://www.eco-schools.net/ where you will find instructions on how to register your school and carry out a search. After finding an Eco-School that matches your criteria, you can then contact the ‘match’ school by post, telephone or email
