Circular Economy Fair - Our goal is to show children that before throwing something unnecessary for us in the trash bin, we can first think about whether it will be needed for someone else to give it to so that they can use it. We can tell our students that making a new toy/book, etc., requires a lot of resources (plastic, wood, paints, etc.), water, electricity, machines, people involved in production. Their recycling also uses natural resources, so it is good to think about other options for extending the life of objects.

Through this activity, we will raise children's awareness of recycling and reuse of objects, as well as involve the family community in the project.
