Wellpack verpakkingen schenkt een grote pallet met karton aan de opleiding én ze komen een gastles geven om het materiaal toe te lichten.

Tijdens de workshop maak je kennis met 2 serious games over duurzaamheid; het voetafdruk spel en het gelijke kansen spel. Door de spellen te spelen leer je meer over je eigen impact op de wereld. Volg de workshop, zodat je de spellen zelf kunt spelen met je studenten!
