Schools The Tower Hamlets Waste Education Project works closely with local schools and youth groups in order to design new methods of developing awareness around sustainable waste management.

These included the development of a new way of auditing the environment using photography and/or film. Here are some examples:

In November 2007, we concluded an after school project, "Dance for the Environment" with primary pupils at the Ben Jonson School. The pupils explored waste, recycling and litter through movement, theatre, art and visits to the waste transfer station in Tower Hamlets. Click here to see the pages

	At the Spitalfields Young Farmer’s Club, youngsters aged between eight and thirteen, care for the animals on the Spitalfields Farm near Brick Lane and learn about composting, recycling, the environment and sustainable living. Click here for more info
