Eco Ecodes
The Code of Conduct is defined by the Environmental Committee based on the proposals of the different classes or groups. It is related to the Action Plan, being prepared with the greatest possible participation and consensus.
.
The Eco Codes are requirements to obtain the Bronze, Silver and Green Flag awards. These represent your environmental commitment at your school. They must demonstrate in a positive, clear and creative way the school's commitment to improving its environmental action.
.
The entire school community, led by the Environmental Committee, should play a key role in the development of the code. This will give your school a greater sense of responsibility for the values āāthat the Eco codes represent. Echo Codes can take the form of simple phrases, a poem, or a song. Your presentation could be an interesting and creative challenge for students.
The entire school community must know and follow the Eco Codes. These must be visible and shared with the entire community. For example, publish them in the "Bulletin Board" of Eco Escuelas, the website, in classrooms, common areas and in the faculty room.
