The idea

Individuals with additional needs are often excluded from waste management, due to inaccessible information and education. Our project engages people with learning disabilities in accessible, participant-led educational workshops about reusing and recycling household waste. This includes recycling waste to create an outdoor exhibition to educate the wider community.
