Achievements (EN):

The project developed Green school model. Green school is a school addressing global environmental problems in the local community by education and practical youth-led action. The objective of the project: increased positive impact of schools on the environmental awareness and promotion of green standards in the local communities. During the project the Green school model was tested in 6 pilot schools (3 in Finland and 3 in Karelia Republic) and disseminated in the region. The Green school model includes the following changes in the school and in the local community: 1) The school itself becomes a model of environmentally-friendly organization: thanks to education, improvement of facilities and student-led actions the school reduce the ecological harm, apply modern policies of energy and water saving, recycling. 2) The teachers responsible for environmental education use modern teaching methods which are creating connections between personal action of a student and global environmental challenges. The students are actively involved in the environmental research and action. The project produced a special tool – Ecocase: it’s a suitcase with instructions and special tools for assessment of environmental problems of a building. For example, a thermal imager help students to find the places in school where the thermal energy is lost and then fix the problems found. The Ecocase was tested in 6 schools and 2 youth centers, produced and disseminated to 21 schools on the final stage of the project. 3) The students are motivated to bring modern environmental knowledge to their families and improve their households together with parents. Home research with the Ecocase gave practical exampe of such an action. 4) The schools bring modern environmental knowledge to the local communities. The student teams conducted environmental assessment of the local organizations using the Ecocase and reported on the found problems and proposed solutions. Participating in Green Week information campaign the schools reached more than 100 000 people with information on green standards and lifestyles. The main results of the project are: • The project produced a special tool – Ecocase: it’s a suitcase with instructions and special tools for assessment of environmental problems of a building.
