Eco-Schools

Eco-Schools is one of the largest global sustainable schools programme –
it starts in the classroom and expands to the community by engaging the next generation in action-based learning.

The programme’s greatest achievement is arguably the fact that it produces generation after generation of sustainably minded, environmentally conscious people. These individuals will carry the behavioural patterns they uptake under the auspices of Eco-Schools with them through life, in turn teaching the next generation the habits to make a difference.

Eco-Schools is implemented in 73 countries by FEE member organisations and in 26 countries through International Schools.

Changing Together

Eco-Schools 1994-2019

For a quarter of a century, the Eco-Schools programme has been engaging young people in taking positive actions that transform their lives. From its modest beginnings in a few European countries, the programme has expanded to effect change in some 59,000 schools in 68 countries across the globe.

This publication is dedicated to the teachers who are at the forefront of providing children with the most stimulating experiences possible: it is they who have built this programme.

ECO-SCHOOLS ANNOUNCED AS A GLOBAL INNOVATION IN EDUCATION & SUSTAINABILITY

 
 

HundrED.org has selected Eco-Schools as part of 100 inspiring innovations that are changing the face of K12 education today. Check out our Awards and Recognitions and read about our work in this impact story!

“I love the fact that each school owns its unique journey all the while enjoying the guidance of the Seven Steps. Integrating environmental work with the curriculum is also a good idea, as is involving the community, developing a school Eco-Code and recognizing schools for their hard work.”
