Hintergrund Although the green kindergarten and ecoschool movements have a decade-long history in Hungary, only 12 % of the educational institutions have the green kindergarten/ecoschool award. At the moment, there are 500 ecoschools and 500 green kindergartens. The award indicates that the institution realizes the education of environmental awareness, sustainable development and consumption in an institutionalized, systematic way. Addressing such issues in educational institutions is of key importance to raise the environmental consciousness of young generations.

Ziele
