Goals
Problem statement:
Environmental education in Georgia is far behind other developed countries, with disastrous consequences. In the streets, gardens and public spaces, waste have become a common occurrence.
Despite laws prevent environmental contamination complete with sanctions, there is no enforcement. This means that education is required to change environmental behavior.
In Kutaisi, there are bins for waste, many of which are damaged, while some them is hard to perceive because of its appearance. There are also large sized containers that do not shine on the aesthetic side. Better waste management options are needed.
Research shows that visual cues can change public behavior. Art and symbols receive the attention of passers-by and can carry an educational message that encourages everyone to protect the environmental and obey the rules, one of which will be the refusal to put waste into the streets.
Proposed Solution:
The project plans to install environmental educational-informational works on the large waste containers in central Kutaisi.
These colorful displays will be attractive from an aesthetic point of view and development of environmental awareness, especially in the young generation.
It is important that the implementation of the project is first of all planned to be activated by young people. In public and art schools, information meetings will be held on the goals of the project and the conditions of participation in the competition. Collections prepared by children will be collected in the specified time frame. The 15 best works will be chosen and drawn on containers according to pre-selected locations.
The main criterion for the best of the presented works is the environmental theme, but at the same time the advantage will be given to sketches that will be easily perceived visually and harmoniously connected to specific locations. In order to involve as many children as possible in the project, group work will be prioritized. It is also important that the containers will be painted by the children together with their group by using their own sketches.
Sustainability:
Due to the fact that the project involves painting the garbage containers, different colors of paint and other art tools are needed. These resources will be fully utilized to achieve the set goal.
The garbage containers selected are permanently and not temporary, which guarantees that they will carry out the function in the long run, aiming to achieve the project.
The project envisages painting of 15 large garbage containers in the city center.
Equal gender opportunity:
The implementation of the project will include the students from art schools, both girls and boys.
And for even more interest we will use our contacts, as journalists. Given that we have a friendly and business relations with the all media outlets of the city (TV, radio, news agencies), the project will be widely publicized, which is also important for the population's awareness, this means both women and men will be aware of environmental rules and they will develop their skills in protecting nature and increase their civic responsibility.
