Task:

Learn about the circular economy

For the teacher

This task is well-suited for group work. The students can bring items that they do not need from home or they can gather such items together from the educational institution or the students’ immediate circle. The items can be presented, new purposes of use can be invented for them or they can be taken apart. The items can be provided with a new future. The plan can be drawn, written or implemented.

Learn about the circular economy

Plan how you will increase awareness of the circular economy among your friends. For example, you can hold an event for exchanging items, with everyone bringing something that they do not need from home. If there are any items that do not find a new owner, consider how you can recycle them or what you can make from them.
