Shortly describe your project

We teach children to live sustainably so that it becomes normal and natural for them. We don't waste food – children can try a small piece of a snack, and if they like it, they can have a larger portion. If they don't like it, they can choose something else. They always have a choice of food and drink, and at the same time they learn to respect food and their own bodies. We do not use plastic bags – we paint fabric bags with the children, which we then use as gifts for their mothers.

We sort waste in the classrooms and, together with the children, we take the sorted waste bins to the containers in the village.
