This activity was attended by elementary and middle school-aged children who enthusiastically participated in a
The material was delivered by UI Vocational lecturers, Deni Danial Kesa, M.B.A., Ph.D. and Ari Nurfikri, S.K.M., M.M.R. Both emphasized the importance of changing the perspective on household waste so that it is not considered merely trash, but rather a resource that can be recycled into valuable products. Through an educational approach and hands-on practice, participants learned that environmental awareness is realized through simple steps that have a big impact.
This activity supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and Goal 13 (Climate Action). Through this initiative, children not only understand the importance of environmental conservation but also learn to develop creativity and the values of a circular economy, creating a caring, innovative, and sustainable development-oriented young generation.
