The Eco-Schools programme provides an ideal way for fostering environmental awareness in the entire school in a way that links to many curriculum subjects. The primary aim of the Eco-Schools programme is to educate and empower young people to make positive decisions and become change makers for an environmentally sustainable world.

Eco-Schools is the world’s leading environmental education programme run internationally by the Foundation for Environmental Education. 68 countries are currently signed up involving 59,000 schools.

Once registered on the programme, schools work through a simple seven-step process resulting in the programme becoming central to the school's ethos. Schools can choose from eleven eco-topics ranging from Litter and Waste to Climate action, Biodiversity, Healthy Living and Transport to name a few. Schools renew their Green Flag every 2 years.

Eco-Schools is a free-to-enter programme that has real benefits for pupils, teachers and the school budget. The programme is delivered to schools throughout Northern Ireland in partnership with a range delivery partners including Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs.
