Re-Solve Scaling Plan – ESD Change Project
1. What to Scale (Value Creation)
From the value creation analysis, the most impactful aspect was the student-led recycling and re-use initiatives. These activities not only reduced visible waste but also fostered ownership and creativity among Africa’s Future Teachers.
Who Will Be Involved
Teacher Leaders & Students (Africa’s Future Teachers): Continue leading awareness campaigns and demonstrations.
Community Partners: Local recycling organizations and municipal waste services.
Institutional Managers: To integrate waste management protocols into campus systems.
Additional Colleagues: Lecturers in other departments who can embed sustainability themes into their courses.
How to Scale
Vertical Scaling (Institutional Integration): Embed recycling protocols into campus management systems and policies.
Horizontal Scaling (Community Outreach): Extend student-led workshops to nearby schools and community centers.
Functional Scaling (Curriculum Integration): Incorporate sustainability practices into teacher education modules, ensuring future educators carry these practices into their classrooms.
When
Workshop & Consultation: Within the next 2 months, host a participatory workshop with partners and colleagues to refine scaling strategies.
Pilot Expansion: Launch community outreach activities in the following academic term.
Institutional Integration: Formalize waste management protocols by the end of the academic year.
Why It Is Important
Scaling ensures that the impact moves beyond isolated activities into systemic change. By embedding sustainability into institutional practices and extending outreach, the project contributes to both SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and SDG 4 (Quality Education).
