Waste Action Champions (WAC)

Zero Waste is a program developed and implemented by Sustainability Leadership Kosova (SLK). The purpose of this program is to provide an opportunity for young people in Kosovo to understand new economic trends and circular economy.

The program will focus on how plastic, food, textile, glass, and electronic waste can be reused, repurposed, recycled, and reduced.

We will engage participants, through a combined theoretical and interactive activities in order to provide learning on sustainability solutions, helping them acquire new leadership skills, encourage them to adopt systemic thinking, and lastly, enable them to explore ideas of innovative reuse of plastic, glass, textile, food, and technology.

Key direct beneficiaries of this program are youth (aged 18 - 24). Applications from all parts of Kosovo, including different ethnicities, will be encouraged.
