Deplastify the Planet: lessons inspired by a comic book

The launch of the comic book was the apotheosis of Deplastify The Planet, an Erasmus+ KA220 school cooperation project conducted by the project coordinator school Saint-Gummaruscollege and four partner schools from Spain, Portugal, Austria and Croatia. The main objective of this project: protecting the environment by reducing the use of single-use plastics. The partners created measurements on how to develop an eco-friendly school and shared and collected experiences and effective methods on how to protect the environment and reduce plastic waste.

To reach even more young people, the project group decided to have the pupils create a comic book about the impact of plastic waste. To do so, they had the help of several professionals, including cartoonist Kristof Fagard. The comic book is now available online for free and a small print run will be distributed in each participating country. Teachers in Belgium can rent a copy of the comic book via De Studieshop.

Djapo developed two lessons inspired by the comic book. The lessons are still in translation, but you will find them soon on this page.
