    Welcome to MEDIES Education net!

    The site provides useful material for all those involved with Environmental Education (EE) or Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and serves as an interactive point for sharing, browsing and searching websites of relevant organisations, government bodies and NGOs active in the Mediterranean region.

    Moreover the site serves as an online resource for several educational materials on Environmental Education, offers a library of selected major documents on EE and ESD, and contains useful links for all interested individuals engaged in this field.

    All Educators, members of MEdIES e-network, are invited to enrich the site with educational activities and news related to Environment or Education at local, national or regional level. Furthermore, they may send us comments on the educational material that is on line, and also provide us with information such as announcements, projects, or any other content to help us maintain an accurate online resource.
