Eco Art Projects; innovative courses and workshops encourage positive action for the environment and a reduction of our carbon footprint.
The need for environmental consideration was highlighted in the UN Conference on Environment & Development (Rio Earth Summit) in 1992.
Eco Art Projects has been developing environmentally friendly working initiatives for over 15 years.
Our projects recognise the need to involve young people in finding solutions to environmental and sustainable development challenges at a local level.
This key element of the recommendations made at the Rio Earth Summit will lead to future generations being able to enjoy the same quality of life we are used to today.
Eco Art Projects offer courses and workshops for all ages and abilities including Pre-Schools, Schools, Special Schools, Family Learning, Adult Education, Local Groups and Organisations.
Also available soon, a learning resource centre for environmental and sustainability issues through science art & crafts activities linked to all curricular subjects and areas: raising environmental awareness and developing green thinking
