International School Awards 2020 - Winners!

My work as environmental sustainability coordinator at the school where I teach and my writing came together as 2019 came to a close and 2020 began:

Our school was nominated for the International School Awards organized by International School Leader Magazine in the environmental initiative category.

The initiative in question was Bangkok based environmental education group Eco Beasts, which started life at our school but now stands as a fully independent project of its own. The school maintains an active Eco Beasts after school club, which I help run.

This lead to two opportunities to tell the story:

Firstly, the school asked me to write a promo piece announcing our nomination, published in Expat Life in Thailand. 

We then won, not only the environmental category but also international school of the year! 

So my second article told the Eco Beast story, as it unravelled in our school for a global audience of educators, appearing in International School Leader Magazine. Find the PDF here.

It was nice to be able to bring together my interests in both sustainability and education, as well as write about a considerable success!
