Eco-
Schools

A global programme engaging millions of children across 64 countries

Eco-Schools is pupil-led; involves hands-on, real-world learning and gets the whole school and the wider community involved in exciting environmental projects. For more information go to Eco-schools.

Many of Practical Action’s resources can be used to support the Eco-Schools topics. We’ve included a selection of our popular classroom resources below, but there are many more to discover by browsing the site!

• The 6 Rs
• Wind Power Challenge
• Plastics Challenge
• Beat the Flood
• Ditch the Dirt

To be awarded the Eco schools green flag pupils are required to show how the work they have done links to the curriculum. Using Practical Action’s resources will not only engage pupils but clearly demonstrate many of these links, with a particular emphasis on science and design and technology.
