Eco-Schools is a growing phenomenon, which encourages young people to engage in their environment by allowing them the opportunity to actively protect it. It starts in the classroom, it expands to the school and eventually fosters change in the community at large. A Rocha Uganda partners with the Albertine Rift Conservation Society to implement this programme where young people experience a sense of achievement at being able to have a say in the environmental management policies of their schools.

Combining learning with hands-on experiences, the whole programme is run according to an all-inclusive, participatory approach involving students,  teachers and the local community.
