Welcome to our programs section! Below is a list of SWA-SL Programs
SWA-SL Eco-Green School Program
The Eco-Green Schools project is an evolving initiative encouraging youths to establish connections with their environment by providing them the opportunity to actively protect it. It all starts in the classroom; it expands to the school and eventually fosters change in the community at large. Through this project, youths experience a sense of achievement at being able to have a say in the environmental management policies of their schools, ultimately steering them towards SWA-SL Eco-Green School certification and the prestige which comes with being awarded a SWA-SL Eco-Green Flag. The Eco-Green Schools project is an ideal way for schools to embark on a meaningful path towards improving the environment in both the school and the local community while at the same time having a life-long positive impact on the lives of young people, their families, school, staff and local authorities.
Key Features:
- Waste Management, Circular Economy, and Zero Waste
- Sustainability
- Environmental Education and protection
