"This year’s Global Action Days, led by the Foundation for Environmental Education, brings together more than 320,000 participants worldwide from 135 countries.
This is a powerful demonstration of collective commitment to environmental action, extending far beyond the immediate reach of FEE that has members in 85 countries.
Among these global contributions, participation of schools from the Gulf States, as well as one school each from Syria and Iraq, stands out as especially meaningful.
In regions affected by ongoing conflict, the decision by teachers and students to engage in environmental education and action is not something to take lightly. It reflects determination, courage, and a belief in the importance of building a sustainable future, even under the most challenging circumstances.
Their participation is more than symbolic. It underscores the critical role of education as a source of stability, empowerment, and hope. It also reminds us that global movements like Global Action Days must remain inclusive, ensuring that voices from all contexts — especially those facing adversity — are seen, heard, and supported.
Their voices matter. Their actions matter. And their participation strengthens a truly global movement for change." - Nikos Petrou, FEE President
