If
a new country wants to start up with The Green Key programme,
a suitable organisation must be identified to carry
out the task as national Green Key operator. In order
to be suitable, the organisation must be a non-profit,
non-governmental, independent organisation and it must
have environmental education and protection as important
objectives. It is an obvious advantage if the organisation
has a history of environmental work related to local
authorities and has experiences with national initiatives.
Once
such an organisation is found or founded, it must be
a member of the Foundation for Environmental Education
(FEE). This in turn means that the organisation must
be in accordance with the statutes of FEE, be able to
raise the necessary funds to pay the subscription fee,
be able to run the Green Key and be ready and willing
to participate in other activities of FEE. FEE General
Assembly considers and approves applications for membership
and puts a great deal of emphasis on whether the organisation
is generally sharing the objectives of FEE.
Please
contact the FEE Secretariat in order to be informed
about the procedures for applying for FEE membership
and in order to receive the membership application form. |
