Developed at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and co-implemented with the NGO \u0391\u039d\u0391\u039a\u03a5\u039a\u039b\u03a9\u039d\u03a9 (Anakyklono), the project aimed to explore and improve urban recycling behavior through design-based learning, community engagement, and public-facing interventions.<\/p><p class=\"\">Students examined systemic waste management failures and created educational campaigns tailored to local audiences. They co-operated a mobile recycling lab (van), designed stickers and posters, conducted bin audits, and hosted community events. The project emphasised experiential learning and supported SDGs 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), 11 (Sustainable Cities), 13 (Climate Action), and 4 (Quality Education).<\/p>                    <\/div>\n\t\t        \n                    <div id=\"fact-sheet-tab\" class=\"clearfix eael-tab-content-item inactive\" data-title-link=\"fact-sheet-tab\">\n\t\t\t\t        <p><strong>Challenge<\/strong><br \/>Greece faces low recycling rates and widespread contamination of recyclable materials due to insufficient public understanding and engagement. The project addressed the educational and cultural barriers hindering effective recycling in urban areas, focusing on SDGs 12, 11, 13, and 4.<\/p><p><strong>Target Groups: <\/strong><\/p><ul><li><p>Direct beneficiaries: 4 students (undergraduate and postgraduate) from the Faculty of Philosophy and Education.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Indirect beneficiaries: Thessaloniki residents engaged through public events, school groups, and municipal stakeholders.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Solution<\/strong><br \/>Students investigated recycling systems, conducted waste audits, and designed a mobile educational intervention. They created visual tools using humor and local idioms to promote better recycling practices, hosted public pop-ups to educate residents, and collected feedback through digital surveys. The result was a mobile, modular learning experience that combined data collection with behavior change.<\/p><p><strong>Innovation<br \/><\/strong>The \u201cRecycling Awareness Van\u201d functioned as a traveling sustainability classroom. The project merged real-time community education with playful, participatory activities like sorting games and pledges. It redefined recycling education as an interactive, bottom-up process embedded in daily urban life.<\/p><p><strong>Impact<\/strong><br \/>Students gained interdisciplinary skills in environmental communication, civic facilitation, and campaign design. More than 500 citizens participated in hands-on learning activities. The project sparked tangible behavior change\u2014at personal, family, and community levels\u2014and has the potential to scale to schools and city-wide campaigns.<\/p>                    <\/div>\n\t\t        \n                    <div id=\"project-details-tab\" class=\"clearfix eael-tab-content-item inactive\" data-title-link=\"project-details-tab\">\n\t\t\t\t        <p>This student project is submitted through:<br \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.<br \/><\/span>It involved 4 students from the Department of Philosophy and Education<\/p><p>Project poster: <a href=\"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2.-Recycling-Techniques-in-the-Greek_poster.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download Here<\/a><\/p>                    <\/div>\n\t\t                    <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2135c50e\" data-id=\"2135c50e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6b12b4a1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6b12b4a1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-24f5fc65\" data-id=\"24f5fc65\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A project-based environmental learning on recycling <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":4143,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"q21pr_SDG":[],"q21_community_exp":[],"q21_sdg_student":[95,96,97,88],"class_list":["post-4142","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","q21_sdg_student-sdg11","q21_sdg_student-sdg12","q21_sdg_student-sdg13","q21_sdg_student-sdg4"],"blocksy_meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4142"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4142\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4150,"href":"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4142\/revisions\/4150"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4143"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"q21pr_SDG","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/q21pr_SDG?post=4142"},{"taxonomy":"q21_community_exp","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/q21_community_exp?post=4142"},{"taxonomy":"q21_sdg_student","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disc-eu.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/q21_sdg_student?post=4142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
