Seven Steps to Eco-Schools Green Flag Success

Eco-Schools 7 Step Overview

Eco-Schools is active in more than 70 countries and all schools follow the same Seven Step Framework. This is designed to place young people in control of environmental actions in their schools and beyond.

Earth Cubs are delighted to have worked with Eco-Schools England to produce a number of videos which describe each step in detail. All hosted by our crazy Earth Cubs characters!
