Next generations in Pomorie Municipality – more responsible in resources use and involved in circular economy transformation through educational, awareness and promotional-demonstration measures

About this project

<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12pt">Twelve schools and seven kindergartens in the area of Pomorie, in partnership with IDN Norway, will design and conduct educational campaigns to inform about resource management, waste recycling and circular economy. Experts in the field will elaborate numerous educational courses to be included in the national undergraduate curriculum. Other activities include demonstrations on waste recycling in schools, pairing with Norwegian schools to examine and apply their approach as to how circular economy is taught in school and effective public awareness initiatives to involve the public in the process.</span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12pt">To engage the community in this initiative, the project also envisages the organisation of an eco-tournament between educational institutions by conducting different types of eco-competitions between children from different age groups and 2 promotional-demonstration excursions for students from Hristo Botev Primary School in Bata village and for Sv. Paisii Hilendarski Primary School in Kableshkovo, both aimed at acquiring practical knowledge about recycling, waste reuse and the circular economy among the young generation. </span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12pt">More information about the project could be found at the following web site:</span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"><a href="https://www.pomorie.bg/"><span style="font-size: 12pt">https://www.pomorie.bg/</span></a></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify">&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: justify">&nbsp;</p>

Bilateral cooperation results

For its part, the Norwegian partner - International Development Norway is one of the largest research organizations in the Scandinavian countries. It added value to the configured project partnership through its significant experience in the implementation of projects with international cooperation and those in the field of the circular economy, environmental protection, technology and sustainable development, which fully met the specifics of the project and were very helpful for increasing the competence of the Bulgarian experts.
