At Invictus International School Phnom Penh, environmental education is more than a subject—it’s a responsibility. Recently, Year 1 students participated in an inspiring recycling workshop led by Gomi Recycle, a Phnom Penh-based sustainability company dedicated to reducing waste and promoting green practices.
The session, titled “Recycling for a Better Future,” focused on how small actions can make a big difference for the planet. The students learned how recycling works, why it’s important, and how they can play a part in creating a cleaner, healthier Cambodia.
Educating Future Eco-Leaders
Through age-appropriate discussions and hands-on learning, students explored the full lifecycle of waste—from how it’s created to how it can be reused or recycled. They also discussed the environmental challenges Cambodia faces and brainstormed creative ways to reduce their own impact.
Invictus educators guided students through interactive activities, encouraging curiosity and critical thinking. The goal was not just to raise awareness but to empower children to take ownership of their role in sustainability. Wearing shirts that read “Be a hero to SAVE THE EARTH,” the students truly embraced their new roles as environmental stewards.
Community Partnerships That Make a Difference
By collaborating with local organizations like Gomi Recycle, Invictus Phnom Penh brings real-world relevance into the classroom. These partnerships enrich learning, provide students with expert knowledge, and show how community action can drive real change.
Gomi Recycle, known for their innovative approaches to reducing single-use plastics and promoting upcycling, brought engaging presentations and relatable examples. Students walked away not only with facts but with motivation to adopt better habits at home and in school.
