What’s it all about?
Green Schools is an international environmental education programme that was the brainchild of FEE, the Foundation for Environmental Education. It is a means of encouraging school-going children to be more aware of their environment and determine what they can do to protect and enhance it. It is a controlled mechanism for taking environmental issues from the curriculum and applying them daily within the school.
In Ireland the scheme is run in conjunction with local authorities and is managed by An Taisce. Following the successful establishment of the seven steps of Green Schools the school can apply for a Green Schools award. This award comes in the form of a Green Flag that can be displayed in the school. A certificate is also awarded to the school as well as having a Green Schools logo to print on headed notepaper. The award lasts for two years and must be renewed on a bi-annual basis thus encouraging the school and its pupils to constantly evolve and improve.
