Celebration is at the core of the Trash Hack campaign. By sharing your schools’ Trash Hacks you can increase your impact and help to change the world!
How you celebrate and share your Trash Hack is up to you and your students – it could be through videos, photos, interviews, news articles, song, dance, series of lunch time talks… the list is endless! Whatever you decide, we want you to share it with us and it could be featured on our website and be part of our global Trash Hack celebrations in May 2021 for the World Conference on Education for Sustainable Development.
The deadline is 30 April 2021.

Why celebrate your Trash Hack?
Moments of celebration are important for learners to reflect and articulate their ideas, struggles and strengths during and after a project. They can give them time to show that they are proud of what they have achieved, share what they have learned and possibly see how their ideas can have impact and influence.
The Trash Hack: Action learning for sustainable development teacher’s guide gives examples to celebrate each activity, but these moments will also come naturally from what the students have done, written or acted.
Celebrations could involve things like a small exhibition, sharing of students´ feelings and learnings, inviting relevant people to hold a talk, making a video, a song or a series of photographs. Be guided by your students and their passions – celebration should above all be joyous for all learners.
