Dissemination description: The Carnival Kilo Sale initiative was widely promoted through a video featuring the students highlighting the importance of sustainability, reuse, and responsible consumption. The video was uploaded as a reel on the school Facebook page. Students also designed digital posters, which were uploaded on the school’s Facebook page to reach parents, staff, and the wider community. Additionally, the initiative was further supported and shared by the Local Council, helping to extend its reach beyond the school environment. Through these platforms, awareness was raised about reducing waste, reusing clothing, and encouraging responsible consumption, while promoting community participation and engagement within Għaxaq and surrounding localities.

The Ekoskola Carnival Kilo Sale was a student-led initiative promoting sustainability and responsible consumption. It began by collecting donated carnival costumes to support students and families who may not afford new ones each year, later expanding to include clothing in good condition for all ages. At Ħal Għaxaq School, where carnival is highly valued, both students and teachers contributed. Over 300kg of clothing was collected and sold at €8 per kilo. Students actively organised, sorted items, and calculated prices, developing teamwork and numeracy skills. The sale was open to staff, families, and the Għaxaq community, and was also visited by the Mayor and Local Council representatives. Funds raised supported Ekoskola activities such as the orange juice sale and greenhouse regeneration. Remaining clothes were donated to a residential home in Żejtun and to Inspire Foundation. This initiative promoted inclusion, reduced waste, and encouraged responsible consumption through reusing clothes in good quality.
