I was invited as environmental specialist to the 22nd World Scout Jamboree to run my workshop “Pimp my Trash” in the Global Development Village.
In a fun way, the scouts learned to reuse and repair products
Throughout the week numerous of young people got the chance to discuss the meaning behind the words Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. But the best part for the scouts was to practice “reuse” – by trashing jamboree waste and creating new stuff from it.
Sharing tent with FAO and Solafrica
It was exciting to run my workshop next to big organisations such as FAO, Greenpeace, Solafrica, Friends of the Earth etc. in the Global Development Village.
The village hosted about 4000 young participants each day and the themes of the workshops were; Environment and Sustainability, Human rights, Peace, Health and Entrepreneurship.
