Qatar Sustainability Week (25.09.2024-03.10.2024)
SUSTAINIAL LLC , as a community partner with Earthna during Qatar Sustainability Week 2024, launched an initiative during Qatar Sustainability Week named “from low to no Plastic Bags use” where we partnered with local international & public schools to give a practical workshop from 60-90 minutes long incorporating a n awareness raising lecture about the harms of Plastic Bags use & encouraging students to act against using Plastic Bags use when shopping. The presentation was followed by a hands-on creative artistic workshop where students created artwork on canvas tote bags of their own design. At the end, we exhibited their work & they left home with their own designed tote bags.
Students were from elementary 3rd, 4th & 5th grades from International School of London, Al-Manar International School, Finnish International School & Al-Daayen Elementary School for girls. In addition, we had one workshop at the Qatar University-College of Business & Entrepreneurship for female students from different years 1-4.
The outcome was very educational, and the feedback was very positive. Students learned through playful artwork, and we are positive that the effect will ripple amongst students of the same schools and this experience will be memorable.
