The Eco-Schools program is a voluntary program that aims to promote education for sustainable development by involving and educating school children about environmental issues in order to understand these issues and to advocate solutions within the school.
The specific objective is to encourage positive behavior towards the environment through five key areas: water, energy, waste, food and biodiversity.
This will allow teachers to integrate environmental education into school curricula by establishing links between the subjects taught.
