🌱 Inspire your students. Restore nature.

The Generation Restoration Schools Campaign invites schools around the world to connect learning with real action for ecosystem restoration.

Led by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) in partnership with the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) as part of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, the campaign encourages students to explore their local ecosystems, take action to restore nature, and share their stories with a global community.

Participating schools receive free lesson plans, documentary films, youth action guides, self-paced professional learning, and recognition for their restoration efforts.

A compass helps us find our way. The Sustainability Compass helps learners explore the many connections behind the issues and experiences that shape our communities.

In this example, students use the four Compass perspectives—Nature, Economy, Society, and Wellbeing—to ask a simple question: What factors contribute to successful community festivals?

As ideas emerge, so do the connections between them. Conversations can include everything from local food, gardening, and waste reduction to budgets, volunteers, schools, families, and community participation. Looking at a topic from different perspectives helps reveal how each part influences the others.

It's a simple activity, but one that encourages curiosity, systems thinking, and a deeper understanding of how communities can grow stronger together.
