Eco-Schools anniversary visits continue
30 November 2024
As part of the 30th anniversary celebrations of the international Eco-Schools and Young Reporters for the Environment programmes, we have been continuing our visits to schools across Scotland.
In November we visited Linlithgow Bridge Primary School, Roseburn Primary School and Canal View Primary School.
Linlithgow Bridge was visited by our Education and Learning Officer Nicola Davidson, who presented the school’s Eco-Committee with a certificate to mark their 10th flag.
Ruairidh MacLeod, our Environment and Place Officer, visited Roseburn to present them with a commendation for Learning for Sustainability before visiting Canal View to present them with a commendation for pupil voice.
Barry Fisher, our Chief Executive, commented: “This year we celebrate 30 years of schools making an environmental difference through Eco-Schools.
“It’s great that we were able to visit these schools to present a certificate of achievement and to hear from the children, young people and educators about their inspiring action and commitment to improving our environment.
“For the past 30 years we have loved hearing about the remarkable achievements of our young people and the development of learning for sustainability across the world, and we look forward to continuing to provide support through our Climate Action Schools framework.”
Eco-Schools is the largest sustainable schools programme in the world operated internationally by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) and delivered by Keep Scotland Beautiful. It was launched in the UK four nations, Denmark and Germany in 1994 with Scotland.
