“Eco-Friendly Kakheti 2026” Awareness Meetings Held in Schools
As part of Wasteless’s large-scale pilot regional project, Eco-Friendly Kakheti 2026, educational and awareness-raising meetings are actively taking place in 35 selected schools across all eight municipalities of Kakheti. The main goal of the project is to strengthen environmental culture among young people, promote proper waste management practices, and create a more sustainable environment through the involvement of future generations.
On April 20, the first educational meeting was held with seven selected schools from the Telavi Municipality. During the sessions, students received training and valuable information on waste management, the proper disposal of electronic waste, the importance of protecting the environment and public health, and the principles of the circular economy. The meeting was conducted in an interactive format, where students asked insightful questions, received comprehensive answers, and actively participated in discussions.
On April 21, project activities continued with students from four schools in the Akhmeta Municipality. As part of the meeting, short interviews were also recorded with students, during which they shared their views, ideas, and perspectives on the importance of caring for the environment. A representative from the municipality also attended the meeting in Akhmeta and confirmed their readiness to actively participate in and support the project.
During the presentations, cooperation memorandums were signed with school principals, which will further strengthen school involvement in future environmental initiatives.
Students were symbolically presented with gifts from Wasteless, and the next stages of the project were announced, including waste collection days and a social media competition where young people will have the opportunity to express their ideas on environmental topics through creative videos.
Wasteless continues to work toward empowering children and young people to become leaders of positive change who will share the knowledge they have gained within their schools and among their peers. Eco-Friendly Kakheti 2026 brings together schools, municipalities, and the wider community for one common goal: a greener and more sustainable future.
