This proposal aims to educate young people on current environmental issues and ecosystems health while promoting participatory learning and creative thinking. The study will be performed in an interactive manner through series of lectures and workshops, allowing participants to create their own opinions on the matter. At least three schools per three Irish Counties will be included in this research, comparative study and detailed statistical analysis will be performed. Main goal of this proposal is to raise awareness, empower and teach young people how to adapt and act on worldwide issues such as plastic pollution. This project aims to inspire behavioural change among young people, encouraging them to adopt sustainable practices, reduce their reliance on single-use plastics, and embrace eco-friendly alternatives. By instilling these values early on, the project proposal nurtures a sense of global citizenship and environmental responsibility among young people.
