This episode will be focused on strategies to promote the biobased-products acceptance implemented by CluBE in the HOOP Lighthouse Western Macedonia. CluBE has a great experience in citizens engagement for promoting recycling, upcycling and biobased products acceptance. Their main goal is to promote Behavioral Change on citizens through the organisation of regular school visits. Several games focused on reduction, recycling, sorting and reusing but especially on biobased products are used as creative tools to raise awareness among children about seeing waste as a resource in their everyday activities. Theodoros Gkiourkas, Project Manager at CluBE, will illustrate a guide of best practices to implement at local level to overcome the lack of trust of citizens when talking about bio-based products.
