How Eco-Schools Slovenia, AquafilSLO, and Healthy Seas are helping students turn sustainability into action
Circular economy can seem like an abstract concept, but in the classroom it becomes tangible through creativity, problem-solving, and hands-on learning.
In the latest Healthy Seas Podcast episode, Lucija Marovt, Project Director of Eco-Schools Slovenia, discusses how students learn about circular economy by rethinking products, exploring sustainable design, and viewing waste as a valuable resource rather than a problem.
The episode also highlights the long-standing partnership between Eco-Schools Slovenia, AquafilSLO, and Healthy Seas, which has brought workshops, teacher training, and educational projects on circular economy, marine litter, and sustainable consumption to schools across Slovenia.
Through practical activities and real-world examples, students develop not only knowledge but also the confidence to take action. By connecting sustainability with design, innovation, and ocean protection, these programmes help young people understand how everyday choices affect the environment and how they can contribute to positive change.
