Practice

Through education and democratic participation, Greenschool participants learn about and improve life and spacial design to create school grounds that are in harmony with the environment and that nurture environmental consciousness and collective actions by both teachers and students.


Resources

Little money is required to establish a Greenschool, and schools are strongly encouraged to apply wisdom and creativity so as to reuse and respect material resources and make sure that more people have access to them. We encourage making full use of and integrating existing human and material resources to mutually support action toward caring for people and the environment.
