The schools under the Aarhus Municipal Education Authority are to be environment certified. Conservation of energy measures, energy management and environment management are already in force. To further the educational aspect, the local school authority have, in collaboration with the Danish University of Education, developed the Green Touch Project. This project supports the schools in their work with the environment policy. The issue here is the development of the children’s action competence in relation to the environment.
