Children do \u201cfun, easy, and interesting\u201d activities to learn about how to dispose of food packaging sustainably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During November, 200 Reading school pupils, aged 7 to 11 years, took part in workshops as part of a University of Reading project, funded by EIT Food. EIT Food is supported by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), a body of the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr Stella Lignou led the research. She said: \u201cThe initial findings are positive and exciting; hopefully, the children will now feel more confident about how to dispose of different food packages items.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The team asked the participants about their experience and over 80% said that they will now change their food packaging disposal behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over 80% of the children also learnt something new about disposing of food packaging items in a sustainable way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr Lignou said: \u201cThe project focuses on the 3I\u2019s: involving, informing and inspiring. We worked with primary school children in the Reading area via two interactive workshops and a one-week activity booklet completed at home. Most of the children enjoyed the activities and were engaged and interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cChildren also took part in a drawing competition of a bin that can take all food packages and encourage people to recycle more, like a superhero bin.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project is in collaboration with Aarhus University and supported by Reading Borough Council and re3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
