Plastic Clever Schools Belgium

Join the program in Belgium

From Januari - June 2025, we're running the Plastic Clever Program in Belgium for the very first time!

A few facts about the pilot program:

We're involving 20 schools: 10 in Flanders, 5 in Wallonia and 5 in Brussels
We're focussing on children between 12 and 14 years old
We want to reach 2000 kids and 4000 family members
It's free! We provide educational material in dutch and french.
This is a collaboration with Common Seas and Kids against Plastic.
It's an easy 3-step program (learn about them below)
Our Education Coordinator will be there to guide you every step of the way.

Inspire

We start off with an inspiration session: teaching as many students as possible about the issues surrounding plastic pollution and what can be done about this on different levels. Next, we take action! We go for a 10-minute (or longer) cleanup around the school to get to know the problem in the field. The school can share this experience with parents through their communication channels.

50min per participating group

Investigate

Let's investigate! Through a plastic scan, a smaller group of students will map all plastic that is being used in the school. We can then do an impact-effort analysis to identify 2 problem plastics and come up with a plan to tackle them.

Act

The plan is put into action! Students can launch their own campaign throughout the school and encourage all their fellow students & teachers to reduce their plastic use. Then, the impact is documented in a video, poster or impact wall for the whole school to see. Lastly, we celebrate this succes!
