How my school became eco-friendly - EN

At CEERRF, training committed physiotherapists goes hand in hand with action!

Through our participation in the ENPHE network — and the insights gained within the Planetary Health group — everything started from scratch. Today, our students, teachers, and staff are moving from awareness to action: this journey has led to concrete initiatives and real impact, including workshops, Climate Fresk sessions, and carbon footprint assessments… and this is just the beginning.

Discover our resources and join us to co-create Erasmus, BIP, COIL, and learning experiences where students are at the heart of change.
