Small Steps for a Big Change

Third-year Tourism Studies students at Dzemal Bijedic University of Mostar, Suana Brkic, Asja Basic, and Mak Hadzic, carried out a project titled ‘Green Steps in Tourism – The Importance of Recycling for Sustainable Development’ in collaboration with Ciciban Kindergarten in Mostar. They developed the project as part of the Tourism Project Management course under the mentorship of Professor Nikola Papac and Senior Teaching Assistant Lejla Skaljic.

The project aimed to introduce young children to the importance of recycling, proper waste sorting, and environmental protection. Through a short presentation, games, and creative workshops, the children learned, in an age-appropriate way, how their everyday actions can protect the planet.

This activity showed that people develop environmental awareness from an early age and that education can go beyond learning by offering children a fun and inspiring experience.
