The project titled “Recycling is the pillar of sustainable development” has reached another milestone: the screening of educational short films created for 5th–8th grade students has begun in Săcueni and the surrounding schools. The films were specifically designed for this age group – the topics, language, and visual elements all aimed to ensure that environmentally conscious thinking becomes more than just curriculum content; it becomes a lived experience for the students. Among the themes covered were the functioning of ecosystems, the effects of urbanization, and the practical aspects of selective waste collection.
Through the screenings, the key messages of the films once again reached hundreds of students. According to feedback, the students received the content with great interest, and the films helped deepen their understanding of the topics effectively. In many cases, the screenings were followed by interactive discussions and joint reflections, thus continuing to offer engaging yet meaningful learning experiences.
The program is being carried out with the support of the European Solidarity Corps and in partnership with the Săcueni Mayor’s Office, and continues with undiminished enthusiasm to make environmental education truly engaging and impactful for young people.
