What is inform and involve?
The spirit of participation and partnership is at the heart of the Eco-Schools programme. The programme is not the responsibility of just one person. It involves the whole school and calls for systematic awareness-raising initiatives so that the entire school community is informed of the approach. Thus, informing and involving is a fun but essential step in ensuring the success of the Eco-Schools project.
How to inform and involve?
There are endless opportunities for making the project shine within and beyond the confines of the school! An Eco-Schools Notice Board at the entrance of the building publicising the project’s achievements, field trips that help raise awareness among the school community, a newsletter sent to the parents, podcast series by students are merely examples – the sky is the limit!
Showcasing the progress made is not only a great way of informing and finding help, but it is also represents a source of motivation for everyone involved.
