Teacher’s Guide

UNESCO’s Teacher’s Guide is intended for (lower-)secondary education teachers, school administrators, and staff and informal educators looking for ways to engage learners and communities around trash, waste management and, more widely, education for sustainable development. The guide’s contents and activities can be adjusted for older or younger ages.

Teacher’s Checklist: Planning for Action

• Get informed! There’s lots of information and infographics in the Trash Hack Teacher’s Guide

• Get inspired by the suggested activities. Adapt them to your local context, students’ ages and the current situation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Feel encouraged to create your own activities and projects to trash hack your school.

• Think about who you want to involve: your students, colleagues, school staff, parents, local politicians, local media, NGOs, associations, etc.

• Define the goals you want to achieve with your Trash Hacks!
