Public school nr. 11 from Buzău is becoming the first „green school” in Romania. The school was transformed in 2018-2020 through a project initiated by Buzău City Hall and supported by the European Green Deal program.

The project required funds amounting to EUR 200,000, partially raised locally and in part received from the EU.

The school came to attention after it was visited by Romania’s President Klaus Iohannis earlier this week. The President was seemingly pleased with what he saw there as he stated: „We have developed material that puts special emphasis on environmental education in Romanian schools, but today we saw that we have a school here that is already applying a lot of what we think should be implemented in schools”.

According to the 2022 Presidential Climate and Sustainability Report, a „green school” is an educational institution that is committed to environmental issues, that manages its resources responsibly and sustainably, and has an open attitude towards the community, establishing collaborative relationships with local co-interested actors, especially with regards to environmental, climate, and sustainability issues.
