Getting the message across in schools
Waste is big news!
We're often out and about in the Vale, and here are some
examples of what we do:
Crucial Crew
In May and June each year all 10 and 11 year olds in the Vale
are invited to an event called ‘Crucial Crew’, to learn about
safety.
Attendees take part in workshops to learn about dangerous
or challenging situations and we run a workshop called, ‘be
responsible about rubbish’.
Governor training
Governors are an important part of any school and we've spent
time hosting a session to make sure they understand some
initiatives that can benefit them.
School talks / assemblies
Do you know how many black bags of rubbish are picked up in one
day locally? The chances are that your child could probably tell
you though, if they’ve had a waste talk in their school.
We've run a variety of sessions including individual
classes, assemblies, eco committees and everything in between. We
enjoy seeing how enthusiastic and knowledgeable our young people
are.
Promotional goodies
We’ve found that there’s nothing like giving a youngster a
pencil made from a recycled cup to capture their imagination,
and our rulers made from old printers and mousemats that used to be
car tyres have a similar effect.
