Eco-Schools and food for life celebration 2018

Two happy smiling girls wearing funny headbands

On 12 June 2018 we celebrated the hard work of schools in Leicester at our fourth joint Eco-Schools and Food for Life Celebration in City Hall. We warmly welcomed 15 schools along with over 35 guest judges including 6 City Councillors and representatives from many local and national environmental organisations. The event was an opportunity for schools to showcase projects which have taken place over the last 12 months

Further information

Activities came from a wide selection of project ideas including recycling, extinction, the refugee crisis, biodiversity and healthy eating. Judges commented again how difficult it was to pick winners with such enthusiastic students and staff.  Following the more formal judging, students were given the opportunity to judge the other schools’ stalls and pick their Eco-Factor. Prizes were kindly announced and awarded by Cllr Adam Clarke, Deputy City Mayor responsible for Environment, Public Health & Health Integration & Cllr Sarah Russell, Deputy City Mayor responsible for Children and Young People's Services. This year we also awarded our first Healthier Air for Leicester Schools Awards.  For further information about any of the projects please contact Lee Jowett, Environmental Education Coordinator, Leicester City Council 0116 454 2271 lee.jowett@leicester.gov.uk

We would like to make a special thank you to the Central England Cooperative who kindly sponsored our prizes and awards.
