On 12 June students from Shawlands Academy organised a special eco-conference to celebrate the work of a three-year project partnering them with schools in Sweden, France and Cyprus.
The Comenius project was sponsored by the European Union and was called "How to be an active citizen in a clean Europe".
This is the final year of the project but the students' work continues. They want to show their commitment to environmental awareness by following the eco-school programme.
The Shawlands Academy project has been widely reported on TV and press - including the G41 newspaper - and has won five accolades including an international award for European languages.
After listening to our podcast, you can click here to find out more about the impressive work done by the school as part of the Comenius project.

Southside Media is a not-for-profit social enterprise [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_enterprise#Social_enterprise_in_the_British_context]. It's the first community interest company [http://www.cicregulator.gov.uk/] in Scotland set up with the aim of creating strong, sustainable, independent, local media. Southside Media believes in strong communities and we think that the people who live and work in a place are most likely to know what's best for their community. But we know that for them to get active, get organised and make changes for the better, they need to get good local news and information. In December 2005 we started publishing the G41 Community Newspaper. It's a monthly paper serving the communities of Dumbreck, Pollokshields, Strathbungo, Crossmyloof, Shawlands and Langside in the G41 postcode area of the southside of Glasgow. We also publish the G41 Community Website at g41.org.uk [http://www.g41.org.uk]. In August 2007 we started publishing the G42 Community Newspaper, serving Govanhill, Crosshill, Toryglen, Mount Florida and Battlefield. We also publish the G42 Community Website at g42.org.uk [http://www.g42.org.uk].
