Our Mission
Improve the environment in which pupils study in
Educate individual student populations about the environmental issues of today and tomorrow Encourage action in the local communities Support volunteers in areas which do not recognise the threat of environmental issues and provide resources to combat such an issue Connect communities and initialise communication in order to get the best possible solution for a common problem Establish friendships and intercultural links within the volunteer network |
Our aim is to educate and empower volunteers who want to make change in their communities.
As an organisation, we are deeply concerned by the amount of hours pupils spend daily enclosed in generic, unnatural environments. Bearing in mind that studies have shown that children growing up in a natural environment are more likely to have a smaller environmental impact in their adulthood, we encourage each and every school to cooperate with our policies and prioritise extra-curricular education around the topic of environment.
