Tipperary students reach semi-finals of Young Environmentalist Awards

Local and global food issues were among the projects submitted

Young people from Tipperary were among 40 teams from schools and youth groups across Munster that took part in the regional semi-finals of the Young Environmentalist Awards (YEA) recently.

Those shortlisted included teams from Scoil Ruáin Killenaule and Cashel Community School, with their projects focusing on waste, and local and global food issues.

Run by ECO-UNESCO, the Young Environmentalist Awards is an all-Ireland environmental awards programme that recognises the work of young people who have taken environmental action in their school or community and come up with creative solutions to solve environmental issues. 

The semi-final rounds of the YEA competition are known as ECO Dens, where groups from across the country are chosen to present their environmental projects at Dragons Den style events to a panel of experts.

Four rounds of ECO Dens take place during March and April with events in Leinster, Munster, Connacht and Ulster.
