RECYCLING PROJECT JB+MOSAIC
Let's get into our Time Machine. It is a very cold, cloudy day in 2007 and we are in a Mosaic Training at Ceci Arbolave's house. (If this would be 2010 I would say: I miss her!). Our lovely trainers told us to brainstorm about possible projects and gave us the Mosaic Form to practice filling it up. (Wow! It looks long!) Anyways, some of us are having a nice chat about which project we could "plan" and suddenly we have a brilliant idea.
What about a project which includes...
... recycling?
... schools?
... art?
... fun!?
And the idea was born.
We are now back in 2010 and that idea has become a reality. Our Junior Branch has joined forces with Mosaic who will make this project a total success (or that we hope so). Let's go back to the ideas above and try answering the questions.
What about recycling?
We believe in our community many people thing that by separating paper from organic things in their houses or school they are recycling . What they don't is that all the work they've done separating things is rapidly worth nothing when the public waste collector company throws everything on the same lot. There's not a big culture about recycling... maybe the one we have is very very little. People are not aware of the impact it has on nature and the many possibilities we, as individuals, have to make this change.
We want to show participants the importance of recycling, teach them about the whole recycling process (since we throw something in the bin till it becomes another thing). We believe that when people understand the whole process they feel more encourage to contribute to it.
Why schools?
We feel schools teach a lot of things. From science, passing through math and, why not, art. However, we felt this important issue that is not in the daily thinking of the people in our community is not being tackle inside formal institutes and if it does the content is very poor. We want to provide students with a broader knowledge of recycle and make it in a fun, non formal way.
This first time it's going to be like our pilot test. If it goes well and it proves to be effective we want to take the project to other schools with bigger necessuties.
Besides, by entering into a schools we are not only educating many participants about our issue but promoting CISV as an organization. How cool is that!?
Caro Moli has talked to Northlands School, where she studied, and they are interested in hearing more.
How does art fits in all this?
Well, our idea doesn't end after we go to the school, run a fan activity with participants and teach them about recycling. We want to take this to the next level!
We will be making (or decorating... still to decide) TRASH CANS with recycled material. We will have 2,6,10 trash cans lovely decorated which will be used at the school. We will decide on three things the students use more (for example, paper, cans and plastic) which will be thrown inside these. Every two weeks (depending on how fast the bins fill up) an organization that buys used material will recollect everything. Afterwards, this organization sells their "product" to other companies that recycle it for other uses. In that way, we are not only making students to separate trash but taking it to places that recycle it. In other ways, we are completing the recycling process!
Does all this ensure fun?
Everything Junior Branch does is fun! Our training will be, of course, run under our magic CISV methods: "learning by doing". Of course, we will play!
Another year has passed. Read about 2008!
