We are very interested in promoting ideas of collaborative consumption, smart consuming and recycling and we want to involve students in communication for problem solving and making ecological and social project. We want to make discussions to see the problem of the waste in the city from different points as a part of system thinking for positive changes. Nowadays, there is no separated waste collection in the school and the problem of waste management is very important in the city. We want to encourage students to make researches about local projects and collaborate with them for finding good approaches of social entrepreneurship and
projects, that support ideas of circular economy.
