presentation of the project “Environmental Education and Sustainable Schools”,
an innovative initiative aimed at developing environmental civic awareness among
pre-university students. The project is funded by the Environmental Fund under the
Program for Public Education and Awareness on Environmental Protection,
implemented by the Environmental Fund Administration (AFM).
Main Objective:
To develop environmental civic awareness among pre-university students.
The core goal of the project is to educate young people about the importance of
environmental protection and to help them develop sustainable habits. In a world
where climate change and environmental degradation are becoming increasingly
pressing global issues, environmental education is essential for shaping a responsible
generation capable of finding solutions for sustainable development.
Interactive and Innovative Activities:
Throughout the school year, students and teachers at "Petru Maior" College will be
involved in various creative and educational activities designed to highlight
environmental protection and sustainable development:
1. Creative environmental workshops – Students will have the opportunity to
participate in workshops where they will learn about recycling, resource conservation,
and reducing their carbon footprint. These activities are designed to be interactive,
stimulating creativity and curiosity among young people.
2. Outdoor classroom – An innovative concept aimed at bringing nature closer to
education. Lessons held outdoors will offer students direct contact with nature,
learning about ecosystems and biodiversity.
3. Bicycle parking – Promoting non-polluting means of transportation is an important
part of the project. A new bicycle parking area will be set up to encourage students to
use bikes as a daily means of transport.
4. Gardening space for students – As part of this project, students will have the
opportunity to learn about sustainable agriculture and actively participate in
maintaining a gardening space. This activity will allow them to better understand
natural processes and the importance of healthy soil.
5. Teaching materials for teachers – Teachers will have access to updated and
innovative educational resources to help them enhance their methods of teaching
environmental education.
6. Tree planting action – This plays a crucial role in extending the impact of
ecological education beyond the school space, aiming not only to improve the local
environment but also to strengthen connections between students, teachers, and the
community. This activity is intended to bring lasting benefits by raising awareness of
the importance of environmental protection and encouraging volunteerism.
7. Ecological camp – A unique opportunity for hands-on learning in nature, away
from the traditional school environment. The ecological camp combines educational,
recreational, and team-building activities, all aimed at sensitizing young people to
environmental protection and teaching them how to live in harmony with nature
8. Online resources for students and teachers – The "Școala Verde Cleanwood"
platform ( https://scoalaverde.cleanwood.org/ ) offers online resources for both students
and teachers, facilitating access to information about environmental protection and
sustainable development.
A Call to the Community:
The project “Environmental Education and Sustainable Schools” is not just for
students and teachers. It is a call to the entire community to support environmental
protection efforts and become more aware of the impact daily actions have on nature.
Through the “Școala Verde Cleanwood” Facebook page
(https://www.facebook.com/scoalaverde.cleanwood/), anyone interested can learn

lifestyle.
The “Environmental Education and Sustainable Schools” project represents a
unique opportunity for the students and teachers at "Petru Maior" College to become
ambassadors of positive change. Through creative and educational activities, young
people will learn to appreciate and protect the environment while developing a
sustainable mindset that will guide them throughout their lives. In today's context,
such initiatives are essential for shaping a responsible generation capable of
addressing the environmental challenges of the future.
