About project.
The “Compost & Recycle!” project belongs to the KA2 type of the Erasmus+ program, which enables cooperation among educational institutions from different European countries. Our partner is a primary school from Serceda, Galicia (Spain), with many students and numerous activities focused on environmental protection.
A shared vision of sustainable development and nature preservation united schools from Serbia and Spain in a project that promotes composting practices in schools.
Our activities.
An activity that promotes healthy eating and the proper use of organic waste.
Organic waste is collected and placed in compost bins. The resulting compost is used for growing potted plants and the school garden.
A specially designated area in the schoolyard is adapted for growing aromatic and medicinal herbs using compost.
Our skills.The project connects ecology, natural sciences, and practical work.
Students learn to apply knowledge in a real environment — in the schoolyard, working in the garden, measuring temperature, and observing the composting process.
Such activities enable environmental learning and encourage cooperation and creativity among teachers and students.

How it worksundertake all phases of the cycle: collection of biowaste, composting with temperature and humidity measurement, ripening and application of compost in school beds. We share the results as open educational resources.
Work process.
Classrooms and the cafeteria receive clearly marked bio-waste boxes. Students in teams monitor what goes into the compost and what doesn’t.
Aeration, humidity and temperature control. Data recording and graphing through science, computing, robotics, and technology.
We use the compost in school garden beds. We publish results and instructions as OER, and share the excess compost with the community.
