the Tools to Create and
Live in a Sustainable World!
we are happy to now, after three years, be able to show our results from the project that
we have carried out with the help of regional coordinators throughout the country. As Project
Manager, I would like to thank everyone that has made it possible for us to meet such
an incredible number of teachers, headmasters, and others working within the school and
preschool sector. It is a privilege to meet so many dedicated people, and so many who are
willing to change their lifestyle to give our children a good future. We, who have been working
in the project, will remember all the people who have made this project possible.
the keep sweden tidy foundation is a non-profit organization and has been between the
years 2009–2011 carried out the project “Communicating Environmental Actions to Children
and Youth” (Com-U). The aim of the Com-U project is to give as many children and youth
as possible the tools, knowledge and courage to work for a sustainable world, where there
are enough resources for everybody, today and in the future.
By using the EU environmental policy and the Swedish national environmental objectives
as starting points, the project has received both national and international support, consisting
both of knowledge and inspiration, as well as financing.
the highly set goals and the high ambitions have been an incentive and a challenge for
the Keep Sweden Tidy Foundation and all the people involved in the project. Looking back
I can see that we have taken on the challenge with brilliant results, and that the project has
created hope for our shared future.
so thank you to all of you who have participated in the Com-U project. Without all the
creative, inspiring and competent teachers, co-workers and educational representatives in the
municipalities all around Sweden, we would never have reached as far as we have.
