İnsan yaşamı boyunca doğa ile iç içe bir yaşam sürmektedir. Doğaya müdahale etmekte, ihtiyaçları doğrultusunda yararlanmaktadır. İnsanın doğaya bu müdahalesi pek çok sorunu da beraberinde getirmektedir. Çevre sorunlarının etkisinin artmasına paralel olarak çevreye verilen zararı en aza indirmek nde bulunduğumuz çağda önemi gittikçe artan konulardan biridir. Çevre sorunlarını anlayabilmenin ve bu sorunlara çözüm üretebilmenin en etkili yolu eğitimden geçmektedir. Eğitim ile çevreye karşı duyarlı ve çevreye fayda sağlamayı tutum haline getirmiş bireyler yetiştirmek amaçlanmaktadır. Çevre eğitimi sadece ekolojik bilgiyi değil, uygulamaları da içermelidir. Bireylerin doğa içindeki deneyimleri çevreye karşı duyarlılık kazanmalarında çok etkilidir. Nitekim bireyler çevresel faaliyetler sayesinde çevreyi korumanın gerekliliğini yaşayıp gözlemlemektedir. Çevre eğitiminde bireylerin kendisini merkeze alan düşünmeden uzaklaşıp, çevreyi merkeze alan bir düşünce biçimini benimsemesi amaçlanmalıdır. İnsan ve doğa arasındaki ilişki güçlendirilmelidir. Böylesi bir ortamda birey çevre eğitimindeki uygulamalar sayesinde çevreyi daha yakından tanımakta, olumlu davranışları geliştirmekte ve çevreye karşı duyarlılığı yaşam tarzı haline getirmektedir. Bu çalışmada ilk olarak farklı ülkelerde yürütülen vre eğitimi kapsamındaki projeler genel olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Devamında sosyo-ekonomik ve kültürel açıdan dejavantajlı bir bölgede yer alan İzmir ili Konak ilçesindeki 26 Ağustos Ortaokulu tarafından çevre eğitimi kapsamında yürütülen okul projelerine yer verilerek, bu projelerin getirdiği sonuçlar ve çevre eğitimi açısından önemi irdelenmiştir. Söz konusu çerçevede çevre eğitimine katkı sağlaması amaçlanan okul projeleri hakkında önerilere yer verilmiştir.
