Our support
Here are the activities and services we offer to provide you with personalised support throughout your journey:
Zero Waste Workshop
Depending on the age of the pupils, we explore the theme of Zero Waste through an interactive and tailored approach:
- For younger children: analysing the contents of a bin to identify everyday waste and discover sustainable alternatives together.
- For older children: in addition to analysing waste, we also examine the contents of school bags and toiletries bags to think about practical, responsible actions we can take in our everyday lives.
Objective: Reflection on everyday waste and discovery of sustainable alternatives.
Location: in class
Duration: approximately 2 periods
Audience: pupils of all ages (adapted according to school years)
