The "International Sustainability School / Environmental School in Europe" award is a programme that supports schools in firmly anchoring education for sustainable development (ESD) in everyday school life. Schools work on at least two areas of action over a period of two years – such as climate protection, biodiversity, resource conservation or social responsibility – and implement specific projects with pupils, teachers and other partners.
At the end of the project period, the results are presented to a jury. If the project is successful, the state of Lower Saxony, together with other partners, awards the distinction.
