Embracing Sustainability: The EkoSkola Program

The EkoSkola Program is a comprehensive strategy that integrates environmental education principles into all aspects of school management. By promoting an environmental ethic, it fosters sustainable practices within the school community, encompassing social and cultural perspectives. This approach encourages the adoption of sustainable principles as a way of life, fostering authenticity in teaching and learning environments. It empowers individuals to drive change and engage with the broader community through various initiatives and action plans. The process involves auditing, evaluation, setting priorities, implementation, and developing a School Development Plan. The Seven Steps of the EkoSkola process include Environmental Review, Eco Code, Informing & Involving, Eco Schools Committee, Action Plan, Curriculum Work, and Monitoring & Evaluation.
