"Eco-Schools" – The Path to a Sustainable Future In 2024, the Vocational High School of Tourism "Prof. Dr. Assen Zlatarov" joined the global program "Eco-Schools," which aims to promote sustainable practices and environmental education among students. What is the "Eco-Schools" program? The program is based on seven steps that cover different levels within the school community. If the institution successfully completes each step, it receives certification as an "Eco-School" and the international recognition of the "Green Flag" award. Key Themes and Sustainable Solutions Through this initiative, students and teachers work on essential environmental topics such as: Water – responsible consumption and conservation of water resources. ♻️ Waste – recycling and waste reduction. Energy – efficient use and savings. Biodiversity – protecting flora and fauna. Why is it important? The participation of VHS of Tourism "Prof. Dr. Assen Zlatarov" in the program is not just a commitment to nature but also a way to instill environmental awareness in young people. Through various initiatives, students become active advocates for sustainable development, understanding the importance of resource conservation and environmental protection. The Path to Change The pursuit of a cleaner, greener, and more responsible school environment is a step toward a sustainable future. With every small change in habits and actions, students prove that being eco-friendly is not just a choice, but a mission! Together for nature, together for the future!
