CommunityBlagoevgradBlagoevgrad: pictorial waste separation guide for all residentsA guide designed so everyone can understand it In Blagoevgrad, Za Zemiata and the municipality developed a pictorial household waste separation guide as part of the #ForkToFarm campaign: designed to be accessible to residents regardless of literacy level, language background, or prior environmental knowledge. The guide uses clear illustrations to show what goes where, reducing the confusion that causes contamination of sorted streams. What the guide covers - Visual instructions for each waste category: kitchen organics, recyclables, mixed residual - Pictorial representation of common items that are frequently sorted incorrectly - Distributed in print through municipal services, schools, and community centres - Designed with input from local government to reflect Blagoevgrad's specific waste collection infrastructure How to engage - Blagoevgrad residents: pick up the guide from your municipal waste service or community centre and use it to review your household sorting habits - Other Bulgarian municipalities: contact Za Zemiata to adapt the Blagoevgrad pictorial guide for your own local waste system - Educators: use the guide in school waste workshops: the visual format works especially well with younger children and parents who have limited experience with sorting systems Why it matters Clear communication is the lowest-cost, highest-impact intervention in source separation. When residents know what to do, sorted waste quality improves, recyclers accept more material, and the financial case for collection strengthens.educationwaste-sortinginclusion +2

CommunityLeipzigSupport Fairmined Credits for Corazones de OroFund inclusion in Pacarní with one gram of impact Fairever offers Fairmined Credits: each credit stands for one gram of responsibly mined gold from Iquira, Colombia. The physical gold stays in the local market; the credit pays extra impact. Most of the price supports Corazones de Oro, an inclusion project for children and youth with special needs in Pacarní, with a share for the Alliance for Responsible Mining. What you can do - Buy a Fairmined Credit on the Fairever site (Corazones de Oro section) - Share the project with a makers’ group or repair café that wants a solidarity action without shipping gold - Follow Alliance for Responsible Mining for more ASM community programmes How it works Credits separate metal trade from social impact funding. Miners sell gold locally; buyers fund verified community work and ARM’s standards work. Why it matters Solidarity can travel farther than a parcel — one credit ties European makers to a named Colombian community project.fairminedcreditssolidarity +2
EventCommunityBrasiliaBridge peripheries through Diálogos com TerritóriosBridge peripheries through Diálogos com Territórios Diálogos com Territórios is SESI Lab's inclusion programme, linking the museum with cultural groups and social organisations from Brasília's peripheries. Residencies combine maker skills, audiovisual work, entrepreneurship, accessibility, and environmental education so communities co-create the science culture instead of only receiving it. What you can do - Watch SESI Lab programming and news for open showcases, oficinas, and calls tied to Diálogos - Follow O SESI Lab educational programmes if your collective works with youth, culture, accessibility, or environmental education - Attend the free public showcases when residencies close (past cycles have produced games, prototypes, publications, and performances) - Connect partner organisations (coverage cites groups such as Jovem de Expressão and Casa Akotirene) through the museum's education team How it works Selected DF groups join mentored residencies with dozens of formation hours, then share results with the public. Cycles are periodic, so treat each closing date as a window into an ongoing programme rather than a single ticketed festival. Why it matters Climate and energy decisions land hardest on the edges of a city. A museum that runs its environmental education with those neighbourhoods, not about them, is how science culture stops being a downtown privilege.inclusionresidencyculture +2
