About the Programme/Event
The 6th Zero Waste Bootcamp that took place from Sept to Dec 2021 edition saw our 5 youth teams undeterred by ever-changing Covid restrictions, adapting their plans to carry out a mix of virtual and physical sessions to engage the larger community. Under the guidance of Secondsguru and a panel of mentors, the teams retained the essence of community-centric outreach, achieving the dual goal of environmentally and socially sustainable projects. In this session, hear these teams share on their projects and view the poster exhibitions that came out of the latest iteration of the Zero Waste Bootcamp.
What is the Zero Waste Bootcamp?
The Zero Waste Bootcamp (ZWB) is a 12-16 week programme where youth (aged 18-35 years old) team up, create and execute sustainability projects. The ZWB not only encourages environmental stewardship, but also fosters the development of creative solutions to environmental and social problems we face in Singapore today. Moreover, the ZWB equips youth with skills and knowledge to craft meaningful projects with sustainable impacts, giving them the opportunity to gain mentorship in their engagement with Secondguru’s founders as well as partner not-for-profit organisations.
