"I decided to do an internship abroad as part of my Social Work studies in Germany. I worked on the Youth for Sustainable Development programme at ECO-UNESCO and other youth programmes. I learnt that environmental youth work is very varied involving working directly with young people as well as office work. It required a lot of creative thinking as well as organisational skills. The internship was a really positive challenge."(Ines, age 21) ECO-UNESCO Young Environmentalist Awards 2011

"ECO-UNESCO was delighted with the success of our first ‘Clubs in Action Programme' in 2011. In addition to completing outstanding environmental action projects throughout the country, the ECO-UNESCO Clubs delivered creative awareness-raising activities and successfully involved their local community groups, authorities and schools which ensured the highest level of positive sustainable impact. We are delighted with our continued partnership with Toyota and its dealer network into 2012. We believe this mutually rewarding relationship helps us achieve our goal of raising environmental awareness and empowering young people." Elaine Nevin, National Director of ECO-UNESCO [Pictured: Bowes Boys, Glasheen BNS, Co. Cork received an ECO-UNESCO Clubs in Action Seed Grant, sponsored by Toyota in 2011. The group were concerned about the future of ‘The Lough', a local amenity of considerable environmental and social value. Funding from the Clubs in Action programme allowed the Bowes Boys to print their information leaflet and to buy hi-visibility jackets to wear when out raising awareness about ‘The Lough'.]
