During the week, from November 7 to 11, 2022, the “Rethink Waste Week” project was implemented on the basis of the Sumy National Agrarian University as part of the “Production and dissemination of circular economy ideas in accordance with the EU Action Plan” program.
So, it’s time to summarize:
● teachers, students and the team of the Promotion Office created a video “Ecology Discipline” (you can watch it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azUtYXCW8oU).
● On November 7, 2022, the opening of the “Recycling” exhibition took place. Townspeople and SNAU staff showed their products created by recycling and upcycling methods: socks from old sweaters, a chandelier from a cart wheel, a bowl for animals from a Russian soldier’s helmet. Things surprised the visitors of the exhibition with their creativity and originality. (see https://youtu.be/EurvzMbcLQA; http://www.shans.com.ua/?m=inews&nid=65659)
● On November 8, 2022, the collection of waste paper in the walls of SNAU was completed. Together we managed to collect more than a ton of paper. The money collected from the sale will definitely be used to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
● On November 9, 2022, a debate tour of students “Circular Economy” took place. Students discussed and debated about environmental issues. The first place was won by the team of the engineering and technical faculty, the second place was won by the construction team, and the third place was won by the team of the faculty of economics and management.
