KIDS Initiatives Plastic Clever Schools The Plastic Clever Schools initiative is based on the Plastic Clever scheme and was developed to specifically support schools and students to reduce their plastic usage. The scheme aims to empower young people to become educated on plastic waste, and to be the changemakers against it in their schools and communities. Plastic Clever Schools has three stages to it that schools work through - Inspire, Investigate and Act. These stages take schools through the process of raising awareness of plastic pollution within the whole school, auditing the most-used plastics in school, and reducing their use of them. In mid-2021, Kids Against Plastic partnered with the environmental organisation Common Seas to help deliver the Plastic Clever Schools programme (see more below under 'Partnerships') and still continue to work with them. The KAP Club CLUPI The KAP Club is a group of over 300 young people from I0+ countries that KAP supports and works with to encourage them to act on issues they are passionate about or interested in. Amy and Ella run a weekly Zoom meeting called the KAP Connect, where club members take part in activities and run their own, present to the others about topics that they are interested in and share what environmental actions they have been doing each week, and take part in the weekly challenges. Children from the club also receive regular newsletters. The club is a great source of community for the members, as they give and receive advice on their actions and develop their skills with a supportive group around them, even becoming friends with fellow members no matter the distance between them in person.
KIDS As part ofthe KAP Club, Amy and Ellawork more closely with a roUp of youth members in the Development Team, to allow them to run their own challenges and activities as part of the Club, and also provide them opportunities outside the meetings (such as joining them at public speaking events). The KAP Club also uplifts the campaigns ofyouth members- including Skye's KAPtat campaign, and Ali's One in a Million pick up. Litter picking + Be Plastic Clever app 1 IAILLION LITfER PICK The litter picking app created in partnership with Esri continues to be used to record litter picking all over the world.
