The National Final of “Green Game” (the event on the subject of sustainability and correct methods of separate waste collection) will take place at the Teatro Olimpico in Rome, Wednesday 22 May – at 3.00 pm, and will feature students from secondary schools from all Italy. After a rigorous preliminary phase, these are the schools that will represent the province of Matera at the National Final: The 2A Scientific High School class of the IIS “Bernalda – Ferrandina” of Bernalda, the 2A class of the IIS “Carlo Levi” of Garaguso and the 1A Technical, 2A Human Sciences and 2A Scientific classes of the IIS “Carlo Levi” based in Grassano. The IIS “Bernalda – Ferrandina” will attempt to repeat last year’s result, when it won the bronze medal. “The road show, -we read in the press release- which started in October, took place “in person” in schools in Liguria, and in “digital” mode in schools throughout Italy, arousing great enthusiasm and the participation of over 37,000 students. The finalist classes will compete for the title of NATIONAL GREEN GAME CHAMPION 2024, in addition to the prizes up for grabs for the first three ranked schools: a contribution for the purchase of teaching materials of €750.00 for the first ranked, €500.00 for the second and €250.00 for the third. Representatives of the National Consortia Biorepack, Cial, Comieco, Corepla, Coreve and Ricrea, promoters of the format and the true pillars of the Green Game, will be present at the event at the Teatro Olimpico. With their constant commitment they make it possible every year to create the format that promotes the values of environmental sustainability among students. This year the Green Game celebrates its eleventh edition, consolidating its success after editions in the Marche, Puglia, Sicily, Lazio, Calabria, Campania, Abruzzo, Molise, Basilicata and three digital editions. The innovative and engaging methodology used by Peaktime’s expert trainers, Alvin Crescini and Stefano Leva, together with the interactive technologies used during the verification phase, have made the Green Game extremely effective in involving the new generations in issues of fundamental importance. Green Game enjoys the patronage of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers and the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security. BIOREPACK, CIAL, COMIECO, COREPLA, COREVE and RICREA are national non-profit consortia, created by law and are responsible throughout Italy for ensuring the start of recycling of packaging collected by Italian municipalities through separate waste collection.
In Italy, on average, around 11 million tonnes of packaging waste are produced every year. Of these, the system of national consortia, which is headed by CONAI (National Packaging Consortium) recovers approximately 78%, that is to say: 3 out of 4 packaging.”
“The Green Game represents an excellent opportunity to raise awareness and involve students on the issues of environmental sustainability and correct waste management, in a stimulating and fun way – the Biorepack, Cial, Comieco, Corepla, Coreve and Ricrea Consortia jointly declared – The schools involved showed extraordinary commitment and involvement. We give credit to the organizers, teachers and students who made the eleventh edition possible, as well as to the institutions that provided patronage. We congratulate the finalist schools, certain that this experience can further inspire and motivate girls and boys to commit to a sustainable future.”
