“In 2017, the Eco-Schools programme has been revamped through the introduction of a new theme specifically dedicated to climate change. Rather than receiving a diffuse type of education, schoolchildren are now gaining a deeper understanding of the impacts of global warming; they get involved and look for local solutions to cope with the phenomenon and seek to adapt to it. Gradually, their behaviour is changing. Significantly, in an inspirational turn of events, the Eco-Schools located near solar and wind power plants have developed projects centred on renewable energy. In Ouarzazate, students developed a solar-powered domestic cooker; and in Tangiers, an educational wind turbine is being installed.”
Speech by Her Royal Highness Princess of Morocco Lalla Hasnaa at the High- Level Session dedicated to Education Day, COP23, Bonn
“The Green Flag is a recognition that enhances the prestige of our municipality and of our schools. Today, when the news on climate change dominate media and social networks, knowing that our students are committed to doing their part to protect the future of the planet encourages us adults a lot. I hope a positive awareness of the environment will grow in all our children and that young people like Greta Thunberg, who is awakening the consciences of the world on climate change, will emerge.”
Otello Bergamo, Councillor for Quality and Environment of Jesolo Municipality, Italy
“It’s wonderful to see the students take sustainability matters in their own hands and proactively contribute to the betterment of their school and community. I wish a programme like Eco-Schools had been around when I was younger. It truly empowers students and has a ripple effect on their family and the local community.”
