This service was created during COVID times when parents could no longer enter the school. A team of students and a teacher started an online catalogue in a Google doc shared with the community. This way, on a weekly basis parents and students can check if what they've lost appears in the catalogue and when it does (different sections created for a variety of items, always with description and deadline),claim it via email. Items can then be delivered to Primary or collected by Secondary students

Lost&Found Service
- Welke tips wil je andere Eco-teams geven bij het organiseren van een activiteit/evenement?: Kids are bound to misplace things and forget them anywhere. This services facilitates also for parents to keep track and not having to buy unnecessarily new clothes. By having a 2 weeks deadline since cataloguing, we ensure people keep an eye and all the unclaimed clothes can then be donated to other people that perhaps will take better care of them.
- Onderwijstype: Voortgezet onderwijs
- Waarom zijn jullie hier trots op?: Through this service we promote responsibility (students and families are reminded to always take care of their belongings by adding name tags/other), responsible consumption (not to waste usable clothes/other) and reusing (same families) but also find new users for the lost unclaimed items which every 2 weeks are donated to our own school's Swap Shop or the local NGO Juupu.
- School: United World College Maastricht
