Waste management workshop for children

-
What did you organize, when, where and for how many people?
I organized a workshop for children related to waste management. I did it in a summer camp in Gijón. There were 18 people in the camp.

What were the main goals and objectives of the activity?
The main aim was to try to persuade youngsters about the importance of cleaning and not throwing rubbish in the street, and at the same time to give them some ideas on how they can use their waste again (recycle).


What were the main outcomes and results of the activity?
Children were happy with the workshop; they were really active and conscious about the situation of the neighborhood, and also willing to create a better one.

Are there any other relevant aspects related to the activity, a conclusion or future plan?
I wish they would like and understand the importance of the waste that they generate. I would love to do more workshops like this and at the same time to include more knowledge connected to the use of the waste.

Location: Gijón, Asturias, Spanyolország

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
