Designed with teachers, for teachers: NLWA has co-developed a new outreach programme with north London primary schools to tackle waste!
What is the 'In The Know' programme?
The overarching goal is to establish a culture of waste prevention within the primary schools that participate in the programme by putting the knowledge for change in the hands of north Londoners. We will work closely with the school staff and north London borough officers to make improvements in the following areas: waste and sustainability education, communications and engagement, and waste and recycling services.
The programme will use insights gathered through waste audits and people surveys to personalise the approach for each school.
What's in it for you?
- Insight and reporting metrics on waste
- At least 5 days of engagement from NLWA
- Materials developed and delivered by a teacher, with strong links to national curriculum
- Improved internal communications on waste and recycling practices
- Improved waste and recycling infrastructure and services (and cost benefits of preventing waste)
- Awards Ceremony at end of programme (with publicity opportunities for your school)
- Assistance in forming a long-term strategy to help your school commit to further waste prevention
