Education
In the coming years, one of our corporate aims is to raise the profile of environmental and waste management, and to encourage everyone to use resources more efficiently. We recognise that young people have an important role to play in changing attitudes and practices; at home, school and their future workplaces.
Where appropriate in our contract areas, we aim to develop a long-term educational programme in partnership with Local Education Authorities, Schools, Colleges and Universities, the voluntary and commercial sectors; to promote education for the next generation, so that young people in particular can help shape a new, more sustainable environment and community where they live and work.
Typical initiatives include;
- Meeting a need from schools in the local area for out of school workshops, clubs and activities based around waste minimisation and linked to the National Curriculum
- Working with other waste minimisation groups to deliver a comprehensive waste minimisation education service in the area.
- Helping schools deliver their own waste minimisation systems.
- Providing local people with waste minimisation workshops and involving volunteers in the project who will develop transferable skills.
