The present study examines the impact of an earth education program, Earthkeepers, on children\u2019s ecological understandings, environmental values and attitudes, and behaviour. The program was implemented during two consecutive years with 491 4th to 7th graders from nine different schools in Cyprus. Quantitative data were collected using individual concept, attitude and behaviour questionnaires, and a satisfaction survey. Qualitative data were collected using individual semi-structured interviews with twelve students and nine teachers from six different schools. Data analysis showed gains in students\u2019 understanding as well as significant changes towards more proenvironmental values, attitudes and behaviour. Interviews confirmed the quantitative results and verified students\u2019 behaviour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><div style=\"margin-top:20px; margin-bottom:20px;\" class=\"divider divider-normal\"><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Please find attached <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kykpee.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Evaluating-the-impact-of-the-Earthkeepers-Earth-education-program.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0the related article<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manoli, C.
