First event for local communities

On June 29, 2023, at the Research and Devel­op­ment Cen­tre of INVESTEKO S.A. the first event for local com­mu­ni­ty took place.

The event was orga­nized in the form of (Open Day) by plas­ti­cLIFE­cy­cle project ben­e­fi­cia­ry the Euro­pean Envi­ron­men­tal Respon­si­bil­i­ty Forum (EFOE).

The aim of the event was to present the plas­ti­cLIFE­cy­cle project to the local com­mu­ni­ty and to pro­mote pro-eco­log­i­cal behav­iour, in par­tic­u­lar waste seg­re­ga­tion.

We intro­duced the event par­tic­i­pants to the idea of a cir­cu­lar econ­o­my, and EkoPart­ner Sile­sia team explained how the plas­tic recy­cling process works. The event was attend­ed by old­er and younger res­i­dents of Świę­tochłow­ice and sur­round­ing towns.

With­in the frame­work of the event were orga­nized ani­ma­tion activ­i­ties for young chil­dren, com­pe­ti­tions (largest amount of plas­tic caps col­lect­ed). Pro­mo­tion­al mate­ri­als, gad­gets and prizes were hand­ed to the par­tic­i­pants.

EU flags and roll-ups about the project and infor­ma­tion about fund­ing received from the EU were dis­played in vis­i­ble places with­in the premis­es of INVESTEKO SA and  KWK Pol­s­ka Tow­ers which were co-orga­niz­ers of the event. Sile­sian Cul­ture Cen­tre which man­ages KWK Pol­s­ka Tow­ers pro­vid­ed a guide around the KWK Pol­s­ka Tow­ers for the atten­dees of the event.

Addi­tion­al­ly, a cater­ing com­pa­ny was hired for the pro­vi­sion of snacks and bev­er­ages.

The fre­quen­cy was around 60 peo­ple.
