Waste-Wise Schools

By implementing the project, our goal is to contribute to the European Union's ambitious target of reducing net greenhouse emissions by at least 55% by 2030. We aim to achieve this by promoting green consumer habits and enhanced waste management in schools. This waste-wise approach, empowered with new conscious consumption habits, will swiftly yield positive impacts across sectors, conserving energy, resources, and ecosystems, ultimately curbing greenhouse emissions effectively and promptly.

We will implement tailored activities to meet educators' green skill needs, offering comprehensive training and mobility opportunities. With increased awareness, we will prepare a learning material to better convey green/waste-wise teachings to the students. Students will engage in hands-on learning activities from our "Waste is Gold Activity Book". Also, prepared by the team, a "Waste-Wise Schools Guide" will aid other educational leaders in adopting waste-wise practices in schools effectively.

At the end of the project, all participant teachers will have a high awareness of sustainable living and a waste-wise mindset, which will help them convey these teachings to their students. Thanks to the activity book, students will acquire green consumer skills with hands-on activities. Waste-Wise Schools Guide will help other school managers on their way to sustainability. Refreshed with this international cooperation, all partners will have improved their institutional capacities by the end.
