This continuity between the school and the surrounding community helps to create a consistency of experience that reinforces messages about sustainability, resource use, consumption and other related concerns. A number of organisations involved with ESD activities are implementing packages of complementary activities, which are creating synergy between experiences in and out of school. Working across several sectors and levels in this way contributes to a coherent picture of what sustainability might mean in the lives of growing school children. Another programme, of broader geographical scope but narrower technical focus, is Sand watch, one of the flagship projects of UNESCO’s global Associated Schools Project Network (ASPnet). While some of the Sandwatch activities are school-based, the emphasis of the programme is on student and teacher involvement in the monitoring and preservation of coastal areas. As with the work of LLEE, the connection between what gets perceived as important at school, and what gets perceived as important outside of school, contributes to the success of the Sandwatch programme.
