STARTTS Environmental workshop & BBQ 2016

STARTTS

15 participants

​

Mestre Roxinho from Project Bantu International Foundation at STARTTS was concerned about the lack of knowledge and the attitude of his students in regards to the environment. Project Bantu assists over 300 youth from refugee backgrounds to recover from the impacts of trauma and to settle in Australia and in the Australian school environment.

He felt like there was a hole to be filled as his youth students hadn’t received any kind of education at school in this sense. Mestre Roxinho decided to engage MUNDO Institute and trial out a workshop with his most innovative students. MUNDO Institute planned and organised a day event, developed and delivered a tailored workshop and facilitated some behavioural changing conversations and activities.
