ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAMME

Castlereagh Borough Council is currently offering educational talks and activities to all schools, community groups, churches and other interested organisations. These talks cover a range of topics in the areas of waste awareness and are provided free of charge. Our talks to schools can be adapted to all Key Stage groups and run in conjunction with the current curriculum.
