Planting seeds of action - The environmental learning process of ENO Schools since 2000

Publication Year: 2012 Publisher: ENO Programme Association / ENO-verkkokoulun tuki ry

Background

Every action towards sustainability is needed, starting from the grassroot initiatives. This book is about one of them, called Environment Online. A seed was planted by a classroom teacher at a rural school of Eno in Eastern Finland. In 12 years this virtual school and network has extended its branches to nearly 10 000 schools in 151 countries. The book contains pedagogical and scientific articles related to sustainable lifestyle and the ENO process, written by eminent Finnish scholars in the fields of education, ethics, and forestry. It also presents concrete examples of the activities and effect of ENO in South East Asia and Brazil, and ends with environmental stories by ENO students from different parts of the world. "This seedling in my hand, I will let it grow For those who built our land so many years ago. We have all the keys and after centuries If our game is fair the green gold will be there."
