EkoSkola Malta

Welcome to the EkoSkola Malta website

Over the years, Nature Trust – FEE Malta has prioritised Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), establishing itself as a key reference point for its implementation in the Maltese Islands. ESD, one of the three pillars of our NGO, plays a pivotal role in driving a shift towards sustainable lifestyles and responsible choices.

In 2002, we proudly became the official representatives of the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) in Malta. Through FEE’s internationally recognised programmes, we have promoted ESD across formal, non-formal, and informal education sectors, adhering to high global standards. Our flagship initiative, the EkoSkola programme, has become synonymous with ESD across all levels of formal education in Malta. Both local and international research confirm that EkoSkola fosters significant personal and institutional changes towards sustainability.

Under the guidance of our EkoSkola coordinator, Prof Paul Pace, and our dedicated team of six EkoSkola Officers, participation in the programme has grown steadily, making it the largest ESD programme in Malta. Schools adopting a whole-school approach to integrate ESD into their curriculum are awarded the prestigious Green Flag – an internationally recognised certification based on rigorous quality standards.

Since its inception, EkoSkola has championed the voices of young people, empowering them to advocate for sustainability on local and international platforms. Their active engagement highlights the vital role that young people play as agents of change.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Ministry for Education, Sport, Youth, Research and Innovation; the Ministry for the Environment, Energy and Public Cleanliness; HSBC Bank and the Centre for Environmental Education and Research for their invaluable support in making these initiatives possible.
