Experiment overview
An educational intervention designed to expand career horizons for youths, by introducing waste management and circular economy principles as viable professional paths.
The initiative transformed abstract concepts into tangible career opportunities through direct observation of waste processing facilities and discussions about the growing economic potential in resource recovery.
Main objectives
The project expanded youth’s career perspectives by introducing waste management and recycling as legitimate professional paths, demonstrating how linear economy limitations create entrepreneurial opportunities.
Achieved results
By physically visiting waste management facilities, kids gained concrete understanding of circular economy principles that abstract explanations alone couldn’t provide.
Main reflection
This initiative showed how typical career advice sticks to old job paths while missing new chances in regenerative economy.
Most importantly, the project proved that green can be seen as smart choices for steady work in a changing world - making environmental careers make sense to young people who need financial security more than they need to save the planet.
