Eco-Schools teach eco-citizenship
February 27, 2008
| Eco-Schools is an international programme for schools, for environmental management and certification, and sustainable development education.
It started as a European programme in 1994 to involve young people in finding solutions to environmental and sustainable development challenges at the local level, as identified at the UN Conference on Environment and Development – Earth Summit – of 1992. Apparently some 40,000 schools are now involved internationally! |
