The presence of EDU4PLASTIC complemented the broader mission of the event, which promotes environmental responsibility through education, citizen participation, and scientific knowledge. As one of the largest school-driven environmental initiatives, “Fiumi di Primavera” once again demonstrated how collaboration between education, research, and society can foster meaningful change.
This multiplier event in Italy reinforced the role of EDU4PLASTIC in supporting a more informed, responsible, and sustainable approach to plastics—especially in protecting water ecosystems for future generations.
