Eco-Schools is a programme for environmental management and certification,
and sustainable development education, for schools.
Its holistic, participatory approach and combination of learning
and action make it an ideal way for schools to embark on a meaningful
path to improving the environments of schools and their local communities,
and of influencing the lives of young people, school staff, families,
local authorities.
The Eco Schools programme is a Europe-wide project designed to
encourage whole-school action for the environment.
It is a recognised award scheme, rewarding and accrediting schools
that have made a commitment to continuously improving their environmental
performance.
It is also a learning resource, raising awareness of environmental
issues through activities that link to curriculum subjects.
The aim of the Eco Schools programme is to make environmental awareness
and action an intrinsic part of the life and ethos of the school - both for pupils and for staff
