A waiting list of over 500 requests: the success of Tondo come il mondo continues as it reaches its ninth edition.

The theme of the competition, ‘PAUSE PLASTIC. Five days to help the Earth’, encouraged “a week without plastic”, inviting participants to document their experience in a diary.

Most classes went beyond the required task and collaborated with school principals and parents to create projects outside the classroom environment: for example, children took part in plastic collection activities in various municipalities.

Limiting the use of plastic was not seen as a burden, but rather, as a fun and creative opportunity.
