With the release of Laudato Si' in 2015, CEDoW's system of schools has been on a path of encouraging strategic planning and implementation of sustainable practices, ecological action and formation for our schools.

As part of CEDoW's commitment to encourage and support schools in their ecological conversion journey, schools have had the opportunity to apply for an Environmental Education Grant for the past three years.
