Global Citizenship - Litter and Waste

Our targets for Global Citizenship Litter & Waste are as follows:

• Raising awareness on how looking after our environment aids people all over the world
• Promoting and facilitating ‘Active Citizenship’
• Integrating the Global Citizenship Litter & Waste ethos into our wider Green-Schools programme
• Making an improvement in the Litter & Waste management in our school

The overall aim of the Global Citizenship Litter & Waste theme is to create a knowledge and understanding about the link between environmental degradation and human rights. Students will learn about sustainable development and will be enabled to examine the world’s interdependency and development in a critical manner in order to create real change by acting locally and effecting a more equitable, just and sustainable world for all.
