Education

EHS are currently developing an overarching education programme for waste management linking with the Department of Education, CCEA, Education Authorities, Local Councils, Community Groups and the NGO education sector.

This education programme promotes the objectives of the Waste Management Strategy for Northern Ireland to young people and is integrated into the EHS Environmental Education Strategy. The programme is innovative and cross-curricular, incorporating the themes and requirements of the new Northern Ireland curriculum for Foundation years, Key Stages 1, 2, 3 and 4, after school and tertiary education.

Go to www.KidsAgainstWaste.org for an interactive and informative waste website.

EHS Education Service places emphasis on innovative, interactive and enjoyable methods of learning. Experienced, qualified teachers are on hand at our

Country Parks and Countryside Centres to lead educational programmes that are tailored to the Northern Ireland curriculum and will assist in the integration of waste management in to your teaching.

Alternatively, you may wish to use our sites to deliver your own education programme. To see what’s on offer go to www.ehsni.gov.uk/education
