On Sustainability Day, throughout the Netherlands, extra attention is drawn to sustainability in education. Thousands of teachers, pupils, students and administrators take the initiative on this day to organize a sustainable activity at their school. Because so many schools participate, they also inspire others to join the sustainability movement.
Every school can participate! There are many different things you can do on Sustainability Day. You can use the day as an opportunity to come up with your own activity to draw attention to sustainability. For example, visiting a sustainable company, or starting a project around a theme such as waste or energy. Inspiration for sustainable teaching materials can be found at WikiWise.
You can also join activities specially organized as part of Sustainability Day. For example SDG guest lectures and the national read-aloud campaign with the children's book week theme Gi-ga-green.
