Ecology, eco-friendliness, recycling, reusing, the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, EU Climate Action… All these are key themes of the course “ECO-SCHOOL”.

Science or geography teachers are not the only ones responsible for teaching ecology.

All teachers, from language teachers to subject teachers, and especially School Directors, have the opportunity to teach “more ecologically” or introduce the “green transversal subject” into their teaching method and teaching contents.

This course is based on sharing and discovering together among educators and teachers, creating a common base of knowledge and terms to change the classical teaching methodology used in schools, more formal and static, for a more outdoor, non-formal, and innovative setting.

The topic of ecology is integrated into each subject through practical new lesson plans which line up with other trendy methods used among European teachers. Technology is also used to create a bridge between nature and the digital world.

Eco-Schools is a democratic and participatory program that provides an excellent opportunity for pupils to experience active citizenship in school. It brings many benefits both to schools and the wider community.
