The KCC Awareness Center is ready to open its doors to the public! Over the last year, the Awareness Center Team has been building expertise in public engagement and compiling research results from the SCIP Plastics project to present at the centre. Now, we are happy to announce the Awareness Center Open Days. First, every second month, and later every month, we will open our doors and invite a specific stakeholder group to join us in the centre and discuss waste management, plastic pollution prevention, and solutions for a cleaner and healthier Khulna. On 30.04.2024 and 07.07.2024, we successfully carried out our first two test runs with stakeholders at KCC and schools and colleges.
Opening the Awareness Center to the public is critical in fulfilling our mission to create a central contact point in Khulna, fostering connections among waste management practitioners and experts beyond the SCIP Plastics project. Through raising awareness and facilitating mutual learning, we aim to empower stakeholders and spread the research outcomes of SCIP, contributing to effective waste management practices in Khulna and the region.
