Environment Online- ENO is a global virtual school and network for sustainable development. Our approach in learning has two dimensions: local and global. Learning is student and problem-centered with both online and offline activities. At the end of each theme there is a campaign week during which the results of learning are raised in local communities and on the web. Students eventually become ambassadors for the environment of their respective local communities and regions. Regular themes and have been forests, climate change, ecological footprint and different cultural themes.
The success of the ENO Programme is apparently because of the contents and the grassroot level coordination: it is run by teachers. It was officially recognised in Rio+20 Summit because of its 100 Million Trees campaign.
