Eco-Schools
is a widely known framework for Environmental Education that extends
across 66 countries worldwide. In England, over 17,000 schools are
registered with the programme with nearly 1,800 reaching its highest
Green Flag award level. However, the amount of Eco-Schools activity
taking place in each school varies significantly. Some schools engage
deeply with the programme embedding it across the curriculum and general
school life, while many others have seen their progress stalled or
blocked by the obstacles of daily school life. Keep Britain Tidy
administers the programme in England and is in a process of exploring
what success looks like, what education for sustainability can and
possibly should be, and what Eco-Schools needs to look like under the
realities of the new National Curriculum and current education policy in
England. The seminar will explore these issues, and encourage debate.
About Us
The Coalition, which was established in 2004 and has grown through the voluntary efforts of members and supportive institutions, exists to champion education for sustainable development [ESD] in the region. The glue that binds SWLfSC together is, firstly, a shared conviction that sustainable development is a priority, and that learning is the key to this; and, secondly, commonly-held values around the importance of education, the need to promote systems thinking and active citizenship, and the central importance of co-operation across interests and communities.
