Learners will research responsible waste disposal, reduce, reuse
and recycle strategies and campaigns to clean up Glasgow. They will
identify key areas on the Clyde and, where possible, visit key
points around the Clyde to look at waste. Learners will apply the
findings from this to designing and producing a bin and posters to
support the campaign to clean up the Clyde.
Broad Outcomes of learning
• Learners research and develop knowledge and understanding of both
the design process and the importance of responsible waste
disposal
• Learners will have experienced working in small groups on a
single task and applying findings in the context of a real issue
i.e. waste disposal
• Develop employability skills including communication skills,
planning, organisation, researching, analysing, co-operating and

capacities of CfE
