A healthy life without plastic is Children’s right
Approximately 200 plastic items can be found on 100 meters on Greek beaches, which is well above the European Union and Mediterranean average
This is why Network for Children’s Right wants to ensure that children from 8 to 18 live in a healthy and safe environment by raising awareness and empowering them to take action against single-use plastics.
The project aimed to raise awareness among children of all ages, nationalities and cultures about the fight against plastic pollution through educational games and participatory activities, encouraging them to become stakeholders for change in their own communities.
- Project approved by the Ministry of Education for the 2022-2023 school year and implemented in 11 schools.
- 52 educational workshops involving 903 children aged 8 to 12.
- Participation of 30 children, teenagers and young people from the association in:
- 3 field visits, 3 videos from the visits, 1 video with advice on solutions, 2 podcasts, 7 interviews with stakeholders, 5 articles.
- Production and distribution of an infographic/poster on good practices to reduce single-use plastics and waste.
- 97 questionnaires completed by participants, analysis and methodology published (in Greek) on the association’s website.
- Strong involvement of children in all stages, from conducting interviews to creating videos.
