Environmental Awareness Programmes for Fingal Schools

Welcome to Fingal’s Environmental Awareness School Programme! Here you will find workshops, programmes and resources to support you and your students on a sustainable journey. Our Environmental Awareness Officer is also available to visit your school and organise an interactive workshop on the themes of litter, waste and circular economy. Email [email protected]

Please note places are limited for all programmes below, so early booking is advised.

Environmental literacy is essential for students as it equips them with the knowledge and skills to understand and address the environmental challenges facing our world. By fostering an awareness of how natural systems function and how human actions impact the environment, students become empowered to make informed decisions and take responsible actions. Environmental literacy encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, and a sense of stewardship, preparing students to contribute to a sustainable future and become advocates for environmental justice and conservation.
