Composters and healthy eating at Kavadades Nursery, Sfakera Childcare Centre and 2nd Special School

The activities includes the following:

a) Placement of the composter at a location chosen by the school head, in collaboration with the relevant municipal service.

c) Hands-on activities with the pupils involving the consumption of fruit and the depositing of their residues by the children themselves into the composter.

The action of placing composters in the school structures of the Municipality of North Corfu is carried out in collaboration with the Deputy Mayor for Circular Economy, Mr. Petros Angelopoulos, the Regional Director of Education, Mr. Petros Angelopoulos, the Primary and Secondary Education Directorate of Corfu, and, of course, with the directors of the school units.

Warm thanks for the warm welcome and excellent collaboration to the following:

• The Head of the Kindergarten in Sfakera, Eleni Trousa, and all the staff members.

• The Head of the Kavadades Nursery School, Efmorfia Mokka, and the teaching staff.

• The Principal of the 2nd Special School, Christos Kassiotis, and the teaching staff.

Placing composters in schools has a dual benefit for those involved, both teachers and pupils. Besides fostering environmental awareness through proper waste management, it also promotes healthy eating habits. An increase in fruit consumption by pupils participating in the programme has already been observed during their breaks, as they deposit their residues into the "magic box" that transforms peels into valuable soil conditioner.
