Cleaning up the forest of Echichens

Primary (1st and 2nd grade, approx. 7-8 years)

As part of the Eduki national competition 2019/2020, pupils from the Morges East primary school in the canton of Vaud, in collaboration with the Echichens maintenance authority, carried out a clean-up and waste collection in the Echichens forest. The pupils were able to work and think about waste management in a global way. The objective of this project is to make the children aware of the second lives that some items of waste can have. This project made the pupils aware that recycling is a key factor for the preservation of our environment, thus contributing to sustainable peace.
