FEE ANNIVERSARY
30 years of greening education
2024 marks the 30th anniversaries of the Eco-Schools and Young Reporters for the Environment (YRE) programmes.
Eco-Schools offers schools a meaningful way to engage with environmental issues, creating positive change in both their communities and within the school itself. Over the years, it has left a lasting impact on students, their families, teachers, and local authorities alike.
For over 30 years the Young Reporters for the Environment (YRE) programme, international competition and global network have been equipping and mentoring future leaders to investigate environmental issues and drive positive, solution focused change.
