During 2015 I worked as a teacher at a male vocational college in Saudi Arabia. As part of my post grad studies in Education management, law and policy, I had to conduct action research on value-driven education. I chose an environmental project on recycling, de-littering and land restoration, based on the issue of littering in Saudi Arabia. I involved my students by educating them and making them aware of the issue and then actively involved them to address the issue on a practical level within their community. This proposal was what I had to make to acquire permission and gain involvement from the college authorities.
