Workshops about waste disposal for younger school-age children

U svom diplomskom radu „Radionice o zbrinjavanju i odlaganju otpada za djecu mlađe školske dobi“ željela sam provjeriti odnos učenika prema okolišu. U diplomskom radu definiraju se pojmovi ekologije, zaštite okoliša, zaštite prirode, održivog razvoja, otpada, gospodarenja otpadom i podjela otpada. Također, opisuju se načini gospodarenja otpadom te se navode aktivnosti koje je moguće provoditi u sklopu pojedinih nastavnih predmeta, a utemeljene su na postavkama održivog razvoja. Cilj rada bio je kroz radionice upoznati učenike s problemima okoliša i mogućnostima održiva razvoja, razviti odgovorno ponašanje učenika prema okolišu te provjeriti njihova znanja o pitanjima očuvanja okoliša. Učenici su rado sudjelovali u radionicama i pokazali zavidnu razinu ekološkog znanja. Stoga zaključujem kako je i dalje, kroz odgovarajuće aktivnosti, potrebno poticati i razvijati njihovu osviještenost.In my work „Workshops about waste disposal for younger school – age children“ I wanted to check students relation towards the environment. This work defines terms like ecology, environmental protection, nature preservation, sustainable development, waste, waste management and waste classification. Also, there are described possible ways of waste management and activities that can be conduct in some school subjects, that are based on sustainable development. Purpose oft his work was to meet students through the workshops with environmental problems and possibilities of sustainable development, also to develop students responsible behavior towards the environment and to check their knowledge about environment preservation. Students have gladly participated at workshops and showed enviable level of ecological knowledge. Therefore, I conclude that is needed to encourage and develop their awareness through the right activities
