Educators are aimed at bringing up new citizens who possess the skills needed for living in the 21st century. Environmental awareness and active participation in solving local and global issues are only some of them, but they are very important. Seeds of action for sustainable development can be planted by ENO (Environment Online programme). Environment Online - ENO is a global non-profit virtual school and network for sustainable development that was founded at the beginning of the millennium in Finland. Its aim is to encourage children and youth to become active and environmentally aware citizens who utilize information and communication for the purpose. ENO brings together thousands of schools (nearly 10000) in 141 countries through different activities, theme weeks and local events. Learning is student and problem-centered with both online and offline activities. At the end of each theme there is a campaign week during which the results of learning are raised in local communities and on the web. Students eventually become ambassadors for the environment of their respective local communities and regions.
