Campaigned launched in September 2021 by the Eco-Team and led by parents and students. The parents in the Eco-Team made some very nice videos that we shared with the whole community.

  • Welke tips wil je andere Eco-teams geven over communicatie van jullie Eco-Team?: The involvement of parents in the Eco-Team is a great resource because, in some cases, they have more time than staff, are very creative and the message reaches other parents more effectively if the examples are shared by their peers.
  • Wat was het doel van deze communicatie-actie en wie wilde jullie bereiken?: We want a school free of single-use plastics and decided to start with the lunches packed by the families at home. Our main target were the parents and also the students, who need to contribute by collecting their waste and taking it back. Parents and staff also received questionnaires about their habits for packed meals, so the Eco-Team members can better understand what approaches/strategies would work better.
  • Hoe hebben jullie dit georganiseerd/met wie?: Eco-Team members: parents, staff and students who presented in the assemblies. We used the screens in the building as well to remind everyone. Year 6 students in Primary now monitor how the campaign is doing.
