Escape the Waste: An Educational Escape Room Comes to Prespes

On October 23, 2026, the Primary School of Agios Germanos in Prespes, Greece will host "Escape the Waste", an immersive educational escape room where students will solve puzzles and riddles based on two environmental projects: LESS WASTE II (2014–2020) and the ongoing CARED (2021–2027). Using authentic props like compost bins and organic waste samples, teams of children will "crack the codes" around home composting, food waste reduction and agricultural recycling.

By completing the final challenge — the "Cross-Border Circular Economy Tree" - students will experience firsthand how cross-border cooperation helps solve shared environmental challenges, turning the school into a memorable hands-on lesson in sustainability.
