We are excited to announce that the North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) has recognised Nicole Andreou, our International Eco-Schools Coordinator as an EE 30 Under 30 for her work with the Foundation for Environmental Education. The award recognises young leaders using Environmental Education to build sustainable communities, and so we are thrilled that Nicole has now joined this inspiring community.

“The fact that children aged three or ten, elementary school or university students, all take the lead every single day to make an impact has been fascinating to observe and certainly gives me a lot of energy”

EE 30 Under 30 was created in 2016 to recognise exemplary young professionals who are harnessing the power of education to create a more sustainable future. The Class of 2019 contributes to this network of leaders by addressing social and environmental issues ranging from mobilising students for climate action to mitigating tensions between humans and wildlife.

Nicole's work empowers students to lead sustainable lifestyles and promotes access quality education through education for sustainable development.
