At Eco-Schools Wales, our mission is to ignite a spark of environmental consciousness in young people, creating generation after generation of passionate guardians for our planet.
Our young changemakers are not just learning about environmental issues, they are making things happen; developing inspiring campaigns and projects that are transforming their schools and communities.
Together they are creating a wave of positive change that resonates far beyond their school gates.
