The project features a fantastic consortium, with partners Directorate of Secondary Education of Lasithi (DSEL) with partners from, DISRUPTIA and S.L.U from Spain, Plataforma HABITAT from Spain, the Governorship of Istanbul (GOI) from Turkey and ourselves from Ireland

As work continues as part of the Ecoteach project, some of the following are existing resources which have been identified in research conducted as part of the project and output development.

Leave No Trace Ireland is an initiative that works with teh national Department of Community and Rural Development. The programme has created an outdoor ethics curriculum specifically for young audiences (schools) focused on the use of EBL activities to support learning. The programme is a curriculum intended to promote sustainable use of the Irish countryside. It is based on the seven principles of Leave No Trace and all lesson plans are linked to the primary level curriculum in the Republic of Ireland and offer teachers original and effective models for achieving learning objectives.
