FEE Teacher Award 2022-2023

By instituting an award for teachers, the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) aims to recognise the efforts of outstanding teachers from the global network who promote and integrate Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in their schools and communities.

Through the award, we aim to highlight professional excellence, celebrate achievements, and spread inspirational stories amongst stakeholders.

The award is not a competition awarded to a select few. It is the recognition of teachers’ efforts and a celebration of their work and the impact they have had every day over the last 28 years.

On 5 June 2023, World Environment Day, we are proud to announce the winners of the FEE Teacher Award which recognises exceptional environmental educators in the global FEE network. The selected teachers are inspiring examples of educators dedicated to education for sustainable development.
