What are the most relevant indicators of global citizenship in a Future Friendly School?

← Future Friendly Schools - Global Citizenship

Environmental Sustainability and Fostering a Connection to the Environment

Future friendly schools should operate as environmentally-friendly places of discovery. Schools should follow the three "R"s as strictly as possible-- reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Students should be encouraged to form a close relationship with their natural environment. This provides young people with a sense of purpose, place, and stability, and helps them understand why it is so important to care for nature. Connections with nature have also been shown to increase mental health and improve performance in school.
Environmental education should also be included in the curriculum so that students can properly understand the issues facing our world.
