Terve (means hi! in Finnish)! I coordinate a global virtual school for sustainable development called ENO-Environment Online. There are 300 schools in 90 countries who collect information locally and share it on the ENO website. We will start the schoolyear with a special activity, tree planting. This is a public event so we welcome all the schools/children and youth groups and/or individual to join us. This will take place 21st of September, also known as an international day for peace. This year we have a special blog for the event. Take a look: http://enotreeplanting2006.blogspot.com
As I noticed Ed (from iEARN) in this list I have to say also that ENO Programme is one of iEARN projects!(www.iearn.org) I would be HAPPY if you could share the invitation below with your friends and networks. warm regards, Mika Vanhanen cofounder ENO-Environment Online http://eno.joensuu.fi -------------------------------- - Plant A Tree For The Environment And Peace - The ENO Programme invites you to an exciting event. A new school year will be opened 21st of September 2006 in a special way. We will plant trees at midday, in every corner of the world. The first trees will be planted at midday in Oceania. Following the Sun, new trees will be put to earth in Asia, Europe and Africa . Finally this chain of trees will reach Americas . This event has become a success. Last year over 200 schools in 60 countries planted thousands of trees during the day. Tree planting is important for us. Firstly, it reminds us of the nature and the importance of environmental protection. Secondly, it is a symbol for the international co-operation. And, above all, 21 st of September is known as the international day for peace. Children and youth bring the message of peace. This is a public event. We invite all the schools/clubs or individual children/young people to join our activity. Make a concrete action for environment. How to get involved? Af first register your participation, by 18th of September 2006. Find instructions, more information and material for the event in our blog. After the event please submit information about your event to ENO Tree Database so we can enjoy your contribution and company. Share this event with your school and community. Sing our tree planting songs, dance and celebrate the day. Welcome to build a more sustainable future with us! This activity is connected with UNEP's tree planting activities . ENO and UNEP signed a Memorandum of Understanding in February 2005. ENO Tree Planting Day is also one of the highlights of the International Day For Peace, in co-operation with UN.
