Giiguy Gamambi Preschool Workshops

September-November 2023 | Nambucca, NSW, Australia

We ran a series of 6 workshops at the Giiguy Gamambi Preschool in Nambucca focusing on waste reduction and correct waste disposal. The workshops were highly engaging, providing opportunity for the preschoolers and staff to learn through hands activities and build upon their understanding of the waste management (an age appropriate version) each week.

Workshops included:

Composting to reduce organic waste heading to landfill
Repurposed Insect Hotel
Upcycled Scarecrow
Microgreen caterpillars using recycled containers
Worm farming to reduce kitchen waste
Upcycled Self Watering Planter Boxes

"The compost workshop was a fun learning experience for the children. It has encouraged them to think about what can be composted and working together to sort our food scraps while eating. We now use two scrap bowls at meal times to sort our compost."
