Imagine...a generation of innovative and motivated young people, who instinctively think and act sustainably.
Enviroschools is working towards this vision through a whole school approach to environmental education. Students develop skills, understanding, knowledge and confidence through planning, designing and creating a sustainable school. Action projects undertaken by enviroschools have both environmental and educational outcomes that benefit the school and the wider community.
Enviroschools takes an holistic approach to environmental education. This approach is also known as education for a sustainable future, education for sustainable development or sustainable education. Whatever the title it is a big subject! An effective learning process would aim to:
Help people think creatively ... AND not just from their own world view but acknowledging other perspectives.
Lead to action on current sustainability issues ... AND involve planning and decision-making by people of all ages.
Result in long-term behaviour change ... AND critical reflection on lifestyle choices, attitudes and values.
The environmental make-over series WA$TED! has been an exciting addition to
our TV screens. Series 2 will begin screening on Tuesday 5 Feb at 8pm on TV3, running for 10 weeks.
The Enviroschools Foundation are going to keep the WA$TED! resource pages up
for the next year to help support your students explore and identify their
current situation around Waste, Water, Energy and Transport.
If you purchased the DVD of Series 1 you will still be able to access the
classroom activities to motivate and inspire your students and school into
action for the environment
