Global Networking
ENO-Environment Online is a global web school for environmental awareness. Four environmental themes (dimensions of sustainable development) are studied within a school year (Social, Natural, Cultural Environment and a sustainable way of living) on a weekly basis. ENO Program is a strong and active network of schools. It has been running since 2000 and it is administrated by the city of Joensuu, Finland. ENO has received support from National Board Of Education and European Commission.
The main idea is to lay emphasis on local environment and see it in a global aspect: act locally - think globally. Information will be gathered from local communities and shared together in the website. Learning is student-centred, both online and offline activities. At the end of each theme there is a campaign week when students share their results and raise them up in their local communities. They become eventually ambassadors for environment in their respective local communities and regions and worldwide.
