After last year’s the successful implementation of the first cycle of „The Planet's Smile is in Your Hands“ project, in eight primary and secondary schools in the Sarajevo Canton,  the second cycle was initiated by Ekopak in cooperation with Ekotim.

 In this cycle, the project includes another eleven schools (Isak Samokovlija, Musa Ćazim Ćatić, Catholic School Center – Primary School Sarajevo, Nafija Sarajlić, Velešićki heroji, Aleksa Šantić, The Fifth Highschool, Catholic School Center – General High School Sarajevo, Catholic School Center – Medical School Sarajevo, Medical High School and Secondary school of catering and tourism)

At this point, the Ekotim activists held 23 interactive workshops with around 400 participants. By the end of December, when the educational part of the project will have been finished, there will have been held around 55 workshops for 1500 students.

At the end of the educational part of the project, the students will have the opportunity to present their knowledge in their schools by participating in quizzes, and the best ones will compete in the final quiz which will include all schools.

Along with that, all students participate at the packaging waste collecting competitions on the level of their schools by disposing packaging waste separately on a daily basis, and the schools with the most packaging waste collected are going to be awarded.

In the packaging waste collecting competition, the participating schools which went through the educational workshops in the first cycle are also included: primary schools Alija Nametak, Meša Selimović, the Sixth Primary School Ilidža, as well as the High School Center Vogošća. 

This way, Ekopak contributes to the young generations’ education to whom separate packaging waste disposal should become an everyday routine.
