Upcycling as a way to generate less waste and create value-added products in a creative way Action on climate change is not being implemented with the speed that the urgency of the situation demands. We think it is very important to teach children in primary and secondary schools the idea of reusing waste to make new things in a creative way (upcycling).

We want to support teachers, head teachers and other teaching staff in their professional development and give them the tools and resources they need to understand the possibilities of upcycling for cross-curricular and project-based teaching and to give them practical ideas.

The strategy of sustainability and exploitation of results is also very important to ensure that all products, materials, and results developed in the project reach as many people as possible and that the project activities and practise have an impact on target groups and decision makers beyond the end of the project.

Through multiplier events and other local awareness raising activities, schools and NGOs will build partnerships and seek public and private sponsors to help them with funding.
