Composting & Waste Management Workshop

As part of the “Inclusive Community for Everyday Living” project, The Sprout Scouts facilitated an interactive session for 30 individuals with Down Syndrome and 27 youth volunteers on proper waste management and responsible disposal.

Through engaging activities and discussions, participants learned practical ways to manage waste in their daily lives and make more environmentally responsible choices. The session also encouraged teamwork, confidence, and inclusive participation.
