"While the Seven Steps and the Seven-Step methodology are the most important aspect of the Eco-Schools programme, we have found that working with Themes can also be a great help in giving the programme even more structure."~Eco-School Website
School grounds
Encourages schools to introduce children to the natural environment and to biodiversity in a practical way by offering a safe and potentially exciting facility for outdoor education that can complement classroom-based activities.
waste and Litter
Examines the impact of litter on the environment and explores practical means for reducing and minimising the amount of litter produced by the school. It also examines the impact of waste on the environment and explores actions to minimise the amount of waste that we produce and dispose of on a daily basis.
BIODIVERSITY
Examines the flora and fauna present in the school environment and suggests ways to increase the levels of biodiversity around the school and raises the pupils’ awareness of biodiversity and nature.
climate change and marine and coasts
Examines the impacts we have on the Climate through our lifestyles and how our actions can influence the situation in a positive way. It also teaches the students about local and/or global coastal and marine habitats, how people are affecting these habitats, and what we can do to protect them.
