Learning Outcomes:

Duration:
15-20 minutes
Materials needed:
Digital pool questionnaire handout
Whiteboard/Flipchart
- Markers
Preparation
The trainer will create in one of the digital polling tools (like Mentimeter, Slido or other that the trainer is familiar with) the following questions where the groups/participants can submit their answers:
- What do you think is the idea of “waste management”?
- From your point of view, what benefits could waste management bring to society or the planet?
- How do you define recycling? Can you give an example?
- How do you define reducing? Can you give an example?
- How do you define repurposing? Can you give an example?
- Each group has to give an example of Sustainable Practices for Everyday Life.
Description
The trainer welcomes participants and explains the purpose of the exercise: to explore their current understanding of waste management and sustainability, and to share knowledge and ideas with each other.
Divide participants into small groups (3-4 people per group). Each group will work together to answer the questions and then share their insights with the larger group.Each group will access the digital polling tool where the trainer uploaded the questions.
The groups will have 2-3 minutes for each question to discuss their thoughts and write their answers in the digital polling tool. Each group share with the audience the answers that they put in the digital tool and the trainer writes down on the whitebord/flipchart the common answers of the groups.
The trainer summarizes the key points shared by the group.
Transition smoothly into the presentation by linking the group’s ideas with the content to be covered.
Debriefing
None.
Tips
The trainer must be attentive to participants, addressing their questions about the activity.
They should begin the session punctually, introducing themselves and outlining the objectives and agenda.
Throughout the session, the trainer will facilitate engagement by asking questions and leading interactive discussions.
Additionally, the trainer will ensure that every participant remains actively involved and fully understands each aspect of the process.
The resource”Digital pool questionnaire handout for the trainer” is for the trainer to see the answers of the groups.
