What if we want to participate ?

As the creator and overall coordinator of the programme, ArTech is the initial contact for enquiries about participating in, or supporting the programme, about whether it is operating in a particular country, whether any partnerships have been established with local organizations, and about the availability of material in the national language.

ISO is encouraging the national standards institutes that make up its membership to become programme facilitators and national partners of ArTech.

In the public sector, ISO members could consider contacting and establishing partnerships around the programme with ministries and other administrations - central, regional and local - responsible for areas such as education, youth, the environment, trade, consumers, national heritage and culture.

In the private sector, potential partners and sponsors could include industry and business associations, individual businesses and consumer organizations.

Once the programme material is available in the national language, a typical implementation in a school, or other organization, would take place as follows.

An Eco-Kids' Instructor visits the establishment and provides the following explanations of the programme:

1   The aims.
2   The contents.
3   How to implement the programme.
4   How to instruct teachers whose classes participate.
5   How to evaluate the workbooks after completion by the children.
6   How to return the evaluation sheets to the children with their workbooks.
7   How to lead children to the next level (Primary Level).
8   How to obtain the international certificate of The KidsÂ’ ISO 14000 Programme.
9   How to manage the instructors of Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4.
10   How to organize training courses for the instructors.
11   Which programme manuals are available.

If the school decides to go ahead, then it signs a contract with ArTech and designates a representative for training at an Eco-Kids' Instructor.
ArTech then provides the following:

1   Manual for evaluation of the Introductory Level workbook.
2   Manual for printing the evaluation sheets for the children who complete the workbook.
3   Sample of the Introductory Level workbook.
4   Sample of the Primary Level workbook.
5   Manual for evaluation of the Primary Level workbook.
6   Teacher's manual.
7   Other information as requested.
