Overview
Beyond the class: Engaging the whole school community.
Donald Munro, Envirocom Australia
Details
As waste educators it is often the case that a significant part of our delivery offering to Local Government and/or contractors involves incursions or ‘in-class’ presentations – targeted at school pupils and often in Primary School sector.
The underlying assumption has always been that by targeting this sector of the community these ‘custodians of the future’ will be so inspired by what they learn in the classroom that the messaging is immediately transferred to the home – and so the waste education messaging is transferred to the wider community.
This presentation will explore some examples where taking the message ‘Beyond the Class’ has ensured that this assumption can in fact become a reality.
