With the positive respond and support of the Tongzhou First Experimental Primary School in Beijing, the IWM NAMA project initiated a series of activities for the 5th grade students to expand their knowledge about sustainable development and related issues, including waste management. Through the course, the next generation is expected to get to develop some practical skills, including the habit of waste sorting and prevention. Meanwhile, the pupils will learn to approach environmental and climate issues pro-actively, which will benefit them throughout their whole life. Children, as family members, will also play a vital role in transmitting the acquired knowledge on waste sorting, recycling and prevention to their families, and this way moving one step further towards a more sustainable future.
