The Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) is establishing for the 4th school year:

  1. The FEE Teacher Award, which aims to recognize the efforts of outstanding teachers from the global network of International Environmental Education Networks “Eco-Schools,” “Young Reporters for the Environment” and “Learning about Ecosystems and Forests,” which promote and integrate Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in their schools and communities.

Through the award, we aim to highlight professional excellence, celebrate achievements, and share inspiring stories among stakeholders.

The award is not a competition awarded to a select few. It is a recognition of the efforts of educators and a celebration of their work and the impact they have had every day for the last 30 years.

For details on how to submit your applications for the FEE Global Teacher Awards, the eligibility criteria, the award evaluation process, and deadlines, please visit the FEE Global Teacher Awards international website.
