On October 1, 2024, awareness activities at the school level were launched at the Islamic Rufida Governmental School as part of the Neighbourhood Environmental Campaign titled “Yalla Nfariz,” in collaboration with the Education Department of Irbid.
These awareness activities at schools mark the second phase of the “Yalla Nfariz” campaign, which was initiated on July 24, 2024, by His Excellency Dr. Nabeel Al-Kofahi, the Mayor of Greater Irbid Municipality, and launched in the Al-Rabieh neighbourhood of Irbid.
Project Background
The “Yalla Nfariz” campaign is an essential component of the “Cleaner Energy Saving Multi-Use Public Building” project, which is part of the broader “Climate for Cities (C4C)” program. The European Union and the Irbid Municipality jointly fund this project. The Greater Irbid Municipality, Yarmouk University, and the Future Pioneers Company are collaboratively driving the implementation of this vital initiative.
Project Goals
The main objectives of the “Yalla Nfariz” project are
- Enhance Environmental Protection and Climate Mitigation:
- The campaign aims to significantly contribute to environmental protection by addressing waste management challenges and mitigating the effects of climate change.
- By promoting sustainable practices, the project seeks to reduce the ecological footprint and enhance residents’ overall quality of life.
- Create a Sustainable Development Model for Public Facilities:
- By focusing on multi-use public buildings, the initiative aims to establish a blueprint for sustainable development.
- By optimizing energy usage and waste management, the project sets a precedent for future infrastructure projects.
Implementation Approach
The Islamic Rufida School will be the first of seven schools in the area to collaborate with the Future Pioneers team to implement relevant awareness activities and inspire its students to actively promote environmental awareness, particularly regarding solid waste management.
The key steps in this implementation include:
- Organizing educational sessions on solid waste management concepts and the importance of sorting waste at its source.
- Conducting interactive activities to encourage students to sort waste into recyclables and non-recyclables at schools and homes and use them in beautification projects for their schools.
- Encouraging students to share their knowledge with their families and friends, motivating them to participate in the sorting efforts.
The team will assess the results and benefits of this experience and expand the activities to all schools in the area, aiming to engage a larger segment of the community.
