Fifty students and staff joined a nationwide environmental initiative, turning global sustainability into meaningful local action.
Just a few weeks after the school year began, 50 EMIS students and staff took part in the World’s Biggest Beach Cleanup, a nationwide environmental initiative led by Zalul. Joining volunteers at a cleanup site in Jaffa, Tel Aviv, together with Plastic Free Israel, one of EMIS’s long-standing sustainability partners, our community helped restore a stretch of coastline with a unique history. Once used as a landfill, the beach still contains industrial waste and debris from decades ago and is not maintained by the municipality.
For EMIS students, this was much more than a cleanup. It was an opportunity to connect classroom learning with real-world action, explore the impact of pollution on local ecosystems, engage with the surrounding community, and take responsibility for protecting the environment. Experiences like these reflect EMIS’s commitment to sustainability, global citizenship, and learning through meaningful action.
At EMIS, sustainability is more than a subject. It is part of everyday life, where students from over 50 countries come together to care for the environment, strengthen local communities, and create lasting global impact.
