ECO-SCHOOLS

WHAT IS ECO SCHOOLS?
Eko-SCHOOLS is an application applied to provide environmental awareness, environmental management and sustainable development education in schools.With a participatory approach, students at schools both learn about environmental issues and take an active role in raising awareness of their families, local governments and non-governmental organizations on environmental issues.
