Project

2. PROJECT BACKGROUND
Amna Bint Wahab Independent Secondary School in Qatar
participated in a virtual exchange program hosted by
Global Nomads Group. As part of the program, our
school collaborated with Trinity School in New York (USA)
to develop solutions to the challenges our communities
face.
We decided to address the problem of the plastic bottle
and paper wastes in our school
To do this, we created a campaign to aware our school
students and staff about this environmental issue in our
community.

3. LESS WASTE IN OUR
COMMUNITY
 Throughout the program, students
noticed that one of the main issues
in our school is the large waste of
plastic bottles and papers. And since
most of these do not go for
recycling, they end up causing harm
to our environment and health.
 Through this project, we hope that
people in our community will have a
real feel and sense of this issue and
will take their responsibility toward
the environment locally and
internationally.
 The problem will be address through
several activities that involves those

4. PROCESS
Through group discussion we came
up with 4 different topics for our
project and by voting with decided
to combine two topics at the same
time which were the plastic bottle
waste and paper waste.
• We to go for a campaign since we
thought it is the best way to
reach to a large audience in short
period of time and we can involve
the whole school also. We
decided to introduce ourselves
and the aim of our project to the
targeted audience through
morning assembly which is
attended by all school students
and staff.

5. PROCESS
We also reached out to the school
staff in order to introduce the “ less
paper waste” campaign in which a
group of students prepare waste
bins for each department to collect
daily paper waste for each
department.
The idea of this step was to let the
teachers see what amount of paper
they are wasting that can be reused
for other purposes like drafts or
printing on the other side.
Our partner students supported
our ideas and they like the water
bottles campaign and they decided
to do something similar in their
school.

6. CHALLENGES
Some of the challenges we faced in our project is
finding some time to meet and organize for the
project and the campaign since we all come from 5
different classes with 5 different schedules.
However, we over come this problem by meeting
during the break we have to had our breakfast and
we used to meet at Ms.Neima office to plan and
discuss.

7. FINAL PROJECT
After we finished the project, we
combined all our work intro a Video and
we share it through YouTube.

the work of
advocating for
environment issues in

reasons that made us
choose and work in
this project.

supported our
campaign that
targeted teachers in
reducing paper
waste.
