30
years of greening education
Celebrating its 30th Anniversary in 2024, Eco-Schools is one of the largest global sustainable schools Programme – it starts in the classroom and expands to the community by engaging the next generation in action-based learning.
Eco-Schools is implemented in 101 countries! Eco-Schools can be found in 79 countries through Foundation of Environmental Education (FEE) member organisations and in 22 countries through International Schools.
This year, we are proud to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Eco-Schools Programme. For three decades, the Programme has inspired schools and communities to work towards a cleaner planet, and it continues to drive environmental change globally while producing generation after generation of sustainably minded, environmentally conscious people. These students will carry the habits they learn through Eco-Schools with them throughout their lives, passing on these positive actions to the next generation and helping to make a difference.
