Clean Spaces, Shared Ideas: Local Litter Walks with Global Partners

Students meet their partner class by video call, introduce themselves, and discuss what litter and waste look like in their own community. Mixed groups agree on how they will share observations.

In small mixed groups, students walk around their school and neighbourhood, noting litter, untidy areas, and waste habits on paper notes. They then write short shared observations for the partner class.

Groups read the partner class notes, compare them with their own, and propose low-cost cleanup ideas. They explain how each idea could be adapted to both their local context and the partner context.

Groups try out one cleanup idea on a small scale, record what happened on paper, and share feedback with the partner class through a shared document. They then revise their ideas based on the feedback.

Groups present their best cleanup idea and what they learned from comparing with the partner class, then reflect together on how local and global observations connect. The partner class responds with questions.
