ABSTRACT This article explores a unique form of environmental education (EE) being implemented in schools in Surabaya, Indonesia. An environmental NGO (TENGO) and the national in-school programme, Adiwiyata, attract students to engage in pro-environment activities such as making compost and rehabilitating mangroves. Ethnographic research in and around high schools revealed that these activities entail a very deliberate construction of a group identity, which has at its heart the ethos of kekeluargaan (family-togetherness). Students join the club because of this feeling of belonging to a ‘family’ of friends and have a huge amount of fun doing environmental activities together. The article shows the affective appeal to young people: as a social club that runs physically engaging activities, the role of humour, and the transgressive appeal of ‘daring to be dirty’. The ‘learning by doing’ programme run by TENGO circumvents the institutional apathy and lack of capacity to implement formal EE in class. Although Surabaya is becoming ‘clean and green’, partly through the hard work of students, the activities neglect learning about complex, human–environment interactions, as in more conventional EE. So, is it environmental education, and will individuals continue ‘being green’ after they leave school?

乐趣、“家庭”和朋友

摘要 本文探讨了在印度尼西亚泗水的学校中实施的一种独特形式的环境教育 (EE)。环境非政府组织 (TENGO) 和全国校内计划 Adiwiyata 吸引学生参与亲环境活动，例如制作堆肥和恢复红树林。高中内外的民族志研究表明，这些活动需要非常慎重地构建群体身份，其核心是 kekeluargaan（家庭团聚）精神。学生加入俱乐部是因为这种属于朋友“家庭”的感觉，并且一起做环保活动有很多乐趣。文章展示了对年轻人的情感吸引力：作为一个开展体育活动的社交俱乐部，幽默的作用，以及“敢于肮脏”的越界诉求。由 TENGO 运行的“边做边学”计划避免了在课堂上实施正式 EE 的机构冷漠和缺乏能力。虽然泗水正在变得“干净和绿色”，部分原因是学生的努力工作，但这些活动忽略了对复杂的人与环境相互作用的学习，就像在更传统的 EE 中一样。那么，是环境教育吗，个人离开学校后还会继续“变绿”吗？
