This initiative is incredible. Our young people are supported to learn more about the environment, a subject they are passionate about, as well as take part in a social action project which will directly improve their local area. Having the opportunity to work with our Shared Education partner school as well as new friends from the cross-border schools is essential to developing skills and improving mutual understanding.

I'm delighted to be part of this important programme, which is equipping students to be agents of change in shaping a more sustainable society, through environmental education and social action training. This is the first cross-border initiative of its kind, which brings schools and communities together across the island, to embed sustainability into the school curriculum and empower students to create change.

I think we are destroying the planet and if we take better care of the planet now then it will be better for future generations.
