2020 Student Engagement Finalist: Lycée d'Akwa-Nord Bonamoussadi - Cameroon

Lycée d'Akwa-Nord Bonamoussadi - African Network for Sustainable Development Education (ANSDE) - Students’ action for environment and climate 

It’s a project based on the struggle against pollution through education, sensitisation and training. Students are at the heart of the project; they are members of the environment club and police of their schools and they are still educating their school friends on the importance of keeping their environment clean by tackling plastic usage, especially single-use plastic. Their school environment will be plastic free before the end of the school year 2019-20. First of all they are trained by their teachers on sustainability before acting on the school field.

1. Sorting through waste, organic and plastic 
2. Transforming organic waste into ecological coal 
3. Planting flowers and trees with this coal
