Comenius project
EMAS connects you !

    Mision statement
    

This parachute symbolizes the idea of our Comenius project:

We, the students and teachers from six European schools have resolved to make a joint contribution to the protection and rescue of our Earth.
We will persuade our school communities to implement the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) , a directive issued by the European Commission.
Thus we will ensure that our schools evolve into ecologically, economically and socially sustainable institutions.

In the process, we will intensify our institutional and personal relationships so as to become genuinely responsible European citizens.
