ACCIONA has launched an impactful initiative called the Proper Waste Segregation Campaign, aimed at educating elementary school children in Doha about effective waste management and recycling practices.
This initiative coincides with Qatar Sustainability Week, which runs from September 28 to October 5, highlighting the urgency of addressing climate change through community engagement.
Educating Future Generations
Designed specifically for children aged 6 to 12, the campaign unfolds at several schools, including Qatar International School, SEK International School, and Qatar Finland International School.
By combining education with entertainment, ACCIONA offers interactive presentations and engaging recycling games, creating an environment where learning becomes enjoyable. This approach not only makes the educational experience fun but also encourages young students to develop sustainable habits early in their lives.
Luis Carlos Barroso, the Director of Facility Services at ACCIONA ME, stated that the campaign aims to nurture environmental awareness among young learners. The initiative aspires to empower children to contribute meaningfully to Qatar’s sustainable future. By presenting waste segregation in an entertaining format, the campaign encourages children to recognize their potential impact on the environment.
Focus on Practical Learning
The educational sessions cover essential topics such as waste segregation and the importance of recycling. Students learn how their simple actions, like properly sorting recyclables, can contribute to a healthier planet. These insights are vital for fostering a mindset focused on sustainability.
Following the educational presentations, the children participate in recycling-themed games. These activities emphasize teamwork and critical thinking, allowing students to practice the concepts they’ve learned. By blending knowledge with hands-on experiences, ACCIONA ensures that the information resonates with the students, making it more likely to stick.
Aligning with National Goals
Qatar Sustainability Week, organized by the Earthna Center for a Sustainable Future, aims to promote awareness of sustainability issues and encourage responsible environmental practices across the nation.
ACCIONA’s campaign aligns with this initiative, supporting Qatar’s broader goals of environmental stewardship and sustainability. Furthermore, it contributes to the objectives outlined in Qatar’s Vision 2030, which emphasizes creating a sustainable and environmentally conscious society.
Through the Proper Waste Segregation Campaign, ACCIONA is not just fostering immediate awareness but also investing in the future of Qatar. By equipping the next generation with knowledge and practical skills, the campaign aims to inspire a lasting commitment to protecting the environment, paving the way for a more sustainable tomorrow.
