Decision techniques & waste management

-
What did you organize, when, where and for how many people? 
I held a Decision techniques course at the Corvinus University in Budapest. Within the framework of the class I connected students and civil society organizations working on waste management issues. We were working together through the semester on a project raising awerness on our irresponsible waste management (and creation) habits.


What were the main goals and objectives of the activity?
To raise awerness about environmental issues, to let students meet with practisoners, to engage with sustainability as a fundamental concept. Also, to learn cooperative skills, capabilities.

What were the main outcomes and results of the activity?
There was learning on all sides. Students received first hand, on the field knowledge regarding Budapest's waste situation, the CSO gained a window to our university, and me as a facilitator learned about what helps and what helps less when organizing such synergies.

Are there any other relevant aspects related to the activity, a conclusion or future plan? 
To invite more CSO within our class.

Location: Budapest, Magyarország

What you organized, when, where and for how many people? We planned to organize a local swapshop and charity-bank kind of activity in our home town, Pécs.

What were the main goals and objectives of the activity? Providing a platform for like-minded locals to give away or swap surplus goods (from used household items to hand-made things or homestead products) where your time and skills can also be offered in exchange for items. The activity helps waste-reduction by reusing and shows a positive example of how to control consumption. What were the main outcomes and results of the activity? The small group came up with interesting ideas, we actually started swapping in th

What you organized, when, where and for how many people? I facilitated the Critical Mass Oviedo (June). This activity takes place every month, coinciding with the critical mass worldwide. Also, apart from the bike ride through the city, a documentary about the first Critical Mass was screened. It was held on Friday, June 1, in Oviedo and approximately 20 people attended.  What were the main goals and objectives of the activity? Since its inception, the purpose of the critical mass is to publicize the great advantages a greater presence of bicycles can bring in cities to mobility, society and the individual, to reduce the nuisance caused by motorized traffic: noise, pollution, traffic jams, insecurity. The idea was to raise awareness that those of us who travel by bicycle do not block traffic, we are traffic.  What were the main outcomes and results of the activity? The activity was very positive. After the documentary, there was a debate about what it means to be a cycli
