B: Eco Watch • Introduced in 2009, this project is aimed at developing civic competence as well as ecological behaviour in both primary and secondary school students. • Consequently, a good number of students (600 students) have been involved in monthly activities which have been designed to encourage a critical view and promote an environmental friendly attitude.

Steps to follow: • Identifying an eco leader for each grade • Finding available partners ( 5 other students) to form a team • Making a PowerPoint Presentation ( using materials provided by Greenitiative) • Initiating waste sorting competition • Campaigning for waste sorting • Giving an account of their activity • Rewarding most efficient participants
