Designed with teachers, for teachers: NLWA has co-developed a new outreach programme with north London primary schools to tackle waste, taking place across the 24/25 academic year, and we're looking for schools to take part!
What is the 'In The Know' programme?
The overarching goal is to establish a culture of waste prevention within the primary schools that participate in the programme by putting the knowledge for change in the hands of north Londoners. We will work closely with the school staff and north London borough officers to make improvements in the following areas: waste prevention education, communications and engagement, and waste and recycling services.
The programme will build strong insights into waste behaviours at your school through waste auditing and qualitative surveys.
