The Eco-Schools programme, free to all schools in NI, is operated by environmental charity Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful and supported by Department of Agriculture, Environment, and Rural Affairs.

Translink sponsors the popular Transport topic of the programme and the Travel Challenge is instrumental in helping schools reach the internationally recognised Eco-Schools Green Flag award which is awarded to schools with high achievement in their programme.
