The number of groups from around Ireland and Northern Ireland participating in the ECO-UNESCO Young Environmentalist Awards 2011 has increased by 40% compared to last year. To mark this increased interest, and give even more young people the chance to get involved in what is set to be Ireland’s biggest ever celebration of Eco-Action, ECO-UNESCO is keeping registration open until December 22nd and groups have until February 22nd 2011 to get their projects in.
The ECO-UNESCO Young Environmentalist Awards recognise and reward the achievements of young people in environmental protection and are open to any group of young people, aged 10-18, who want to take action on key environmental issues such as climate change, energy, waste, biodiversity, transport and more.
Teachers and youth leaders can register groups of 2-25 young people at www.ecounesco.ie or by contacting ECO-UNESCO at +353 1 6625491, yea@ecounesco.ie.
