Ecofem Tales Environmental Foundation to Host World Environment Day Workshop for Street to School Initiative Pupils

Ecofem Tales Environmental Foundation is pleased to announce a World Environment Day Workshop for thirty (30) pupils of the Street to School Initiative on Friday, 5 June 2026, at Street2School Initiative, Ipaja, Lagos, Nigeria.

The workshop, part of the Foundation's Eco Stewards Program, is designed to equip young learners with the knowledge, values, and practical skills needed to become young Earth protectors within their schools, homes, and communities.

World Environment Day provides an important opportunity to inspire children and young people to take meaningful action toward environmental sustainability and become active participants in protecting the planet.

During the workshop, pupils will be introduced to the concept of environmental stewardship and learn why caring for the environment is important. They will explore key environmental challenges affecting their school and community, including littering, waste pollution, and water wastage.

Participants will also learn simple sustainable practices they can adopt in their daily lives, such as proper waste disposal, recycling, tree planting, and water conservation. In addition, they will be encouraged to commit to at least one positive environmental action that they can practice consistently at home or in school.

As part of the programme, pupils will collaborate to create a World Environment Day awareness video and share messages on environmental protection. The workshop will conclude with an Environmental Steward Pledge, through which participants will commit to promoting environmental responsibility among their peers and communities.

Through this initiative, Ecofem Tales Environmental Foundation aims to nurture a new generation of environmentally conscious young leaders who understand that small actions can make a big impact in building a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable future.

  “The fight for climate justice is a fight for women’s rights, for indigenous knowledge, and for reclaiming our place as caretakers of the earth.” — Vandana Shiva Few voices have so powerfully connected the struggles for environmental protection, social justice, and gender equality as Vandana Shiva. A physicist turned environmental activist, Shiva has spent decades showing how the exploitation of women and the destruction of nature stem from the same systems of domination  and how reclaiming women’s wisdom can help heal both society and the planet. Born in 1952 in Dehradun, India, Vandana Shiva trained as a physicist, earning a PhD in philosophy of science. But her path changed when she saw firsthand how industrial agriculture, deforestation, and corporate globalization were destroying rural communities and ecosystems in India. In the 1970s, she was inspired by the Chipko Movement , where Himalayan women literally hugged trees to prevent logging. This movement embodied a c...
