Do you want to start an Eco Club in your school?
It is easy and rewarding to start reducing your school's ecological footprint. Entrusting students as much responsibility as they feel comfortable with and involving whole personnel are the keys to succes. This document will help you to get started:
Sharing your day-to-day actions
On this website you are able to report your Eco Club's actions and learn what other teams are doing. You can use Instagram, Twitter and YouTube to post photos and videos and, as a teacher, join the Opehuone group in Facebook to get more insight on actions.
By registering your team you will get better access to the WWF Koulussa website. After registration your team will be added to the school listing so other teams will find you. As a registered Eco Club you can post on Instagram, YouTube and Twitter using #wwfkoulussa hashtag and take part in Panda Challenges, which WWF organizes to activate environmental teams.
How to register
Registering is easy – just send an e-mail to WWF´s contact person. Before registering, discuss with your team and create a #hashtag for your group. You will later use this hashtag to tag all your Eco Club's reporting, photos and Panda Challenge actions.
Send an e-mail to sanna.koskinen@wwf.fi including the following:
- name and postal address of your school
- name and #hashtag of your Eco Club
- name and contact details (e-mail) of Eco Club teacher in your school
- web address of your school and/or the Eco Club Blog
