PARENTS, teachers and pupils are being encouraged to learn about the importance of looking after the environment - from indoors.
With most classrooms shut and children studying remotely, a charity is urging the use of technology to educate people about sustainability.
Eco-Schools works to foster environmental awareness in a way that links to many curriculum subjects.
It also plays a role in promoting the benefits for mental health and well-being.
Through increased use of its social media channels and other online platforms, it is promoting resources that can help teachers keep an emphasis on the environment.
In the coming weeks, it will share `webinars' that are being produced within the sector for young people to take part in easy to use, fun activities at home.
This includes photography and the importance of environmental education and civic participation.
It is also encouraging people to share their positive Eco-Schools experiences online.
"With schools closed, it can be hard to have enough activities in the day to keep children occupied," said Eco-Schools environmental education manager Charlene McKeown.
"We are determined to help bridge the gap and ensure that we keep promoting the important values that have made such a difference in schools."
