Eco-Schools

WHAT IS ECO SCHOOLS?
Eco-SCHOOLS is an application applied to provide environmental awareness, environmental management and sustainable development education in schools.With a participatory approach, students at schools both learn about environmental issues and take an active role in raising awareness of their families, local governments and non-governmental organizations on environmental issues.

In order to help implement the sustainable development process, students are guided to take an active role in 7 steps implemented to reduce the environmental impact of the school. Therefore, eco-schools go beyond teaching in the classroom and play a role in ensuring environmental awareness in other parts of the society. It gives students habits that will affect their success and use throughout their lives as well as about the environment.
