Sustainability at Europa School UK

Our mission

Europa School UK is dedicated to support students in:

  • Learning to respect and care for our planet
  • Exploring what sustainability means and looks like through concrete actions
  • Empowering them with the tools they need to become agents of change now and in the future.

In both our primary and secondary schools, numerous initiatives are run each year to encourage children and young adults to think and act sustainably.

Thanks to all we are doing, we are proud to share that Europa has been Eco-School accredited this time with merit. Read more here

How do we do this?

Weekly primary and secondary Eco Clubs (‘Go Ecolo’ in secondary and the primary ‘Eco Club’)

Including an Eco-drama Club, which empower children and young adults to make decisions and take actions.

Annual ecology-related film making

by Primary and Secondary presented at the Critical Connections Festival Goldsmiths University of London. See the award winning ‘De ma fenêtre’ film from the 5FE primary class (2021-2022).
