SAGE gathers European schools around environmental subjects
Franck Le Cars, a French teacher, is currently managing SAGE, a project that focuses on bringing environmental topics to schools in Europe in order to raise awareness about environment protection and sustainable development.
The project is designed on the basis of the Agenda 21, which is a programme developed by the United Nations and covers sustainable development areas. SAGE, the project title, is a metaphor that encompasses several meanings relating to safety and salvation.
The project aims to:
encourage schools to develop their Agenda 21 at school
share their work with the SAGE group and network via a platform and forum
integrate the Agenda 21 objectives into their lessons and curricula
implement significant actions
promote SAGE in local communities and other schools
