Foundation for education and environment to hold general assembly in Morocco
Morocco-UK, Environment, 10/2/2003
The Foundation for Education and Environment (FEE), based in Norwich, UK, will hold its general assembly in 2004 in Morocco. The announcement was made at a meeting held, here Tuesday, between Princess Lalla Hasna, sister of King Mohammed VI of Morocco, chairwoman of the Mohammed VI Foundation for environment Protection, and Graham Ashworth, FEE president.
Ashworth who came to inquire about progress achieved in partnership projects launched by the Moroccan foundation after becoming member of the FEE, said, in a press release, these projects concern the introduction in Morocco of the "European Blue flag" Label and "Young Reporters for the Environment" program initiated by the foundation in 2002. The princess and her close aides presented to the FEE delegation a set of ecological programs carried out by the Moroccan Foundation, mainly the "flowered cities, clean beaches, education to environment and the air-quality programs." Morocco will also be introducing the "Green Key" label for tourism accommodation sites and camping.
The Foundation for Environmental Education in Europe (FEEE) was established in 1981 to raise awareness of environmental issues and effect change through education. The Blue Flag Campaign brings together the tourism and environment sectors at local, regional and national level in 23 European countries and several countries outside Europe.
More than 2,800 beaches and marinas are now participating in the Program.
The activities of the Blue Flag Campaign revolve around the awarding of the widely recognised and respected eco-label - the Blue Flag. This is given to beaches and marinas where environmental protection is a high priority in site management and information encourages care for the environment.
