The project aims at introducing a model eco-school programme to promote and action-oriented learning for achieving the SDGs in 2 regions of Armenia ? Ararat and Kotayk and the capital Yerevan. The envisaged activities include forming a school eco-committee, carrying out an environmental review, developing an action plan to be linked to the curriculum, further monitoring and evaluation as well as producing an eco-code. It is anticipated that the project will increase the awareness of teachers, parents and children on environmental concerns such as biodiversity conservation and natural resource degradation, climate change, green energy, food safety, global citizenship, health and wellbeing, waste, water, etc. The eco-committee formed by the schoolchildren jointly with teachers and parents will conduct the environmental review of the school and develop an action plan based on the identified gaps. The implementation of the action plan will be monitored and evaluated by the school community. Moreover, children will advocate for incorporating the environmental development plan into school annual development plan and involving as many children and parents in its activities as possible.
Apart from the above-mentioned, the project will raise awareness and knowledge of teachers, children and parents on importance of an eco-friendly environment.
