BAŞAKŞEHİR CHILDREN GROW UP WITH ZERO WASTE

INFO [what will be done]

Description:

The “Başakşehir Children Grow Up with Zero Waste” project is implemented through the cooperation of Başakşehir Municipality and the Başakşehir District Directorate of National Education. Its main objectives are to raise environmental awareness from an early age, promote sustainable consumption habits, and encourage waste prevention, reduction and recycling among children.

Each academic year, the project is implemented under a different theme. Primary school students actively participate through zero waste education sessions, waste collection competitions, recycling exhibitions, fashion shows featuring clothes designed from waste materials, environmental choirs and creative workshops.

The project aims to transform environmental education from theoretical knowledge into practical everyday habits. By encouraging students to share what they learn with their families and communities, it creates a chain of environmental awareness extending from schools to households and the wider community.

The project supports the objectives of the European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR), particularly waste prevention, reuse and recycling, through an inclusive and sustainable educational model that empowers children to become agents of environmental change.
