WIGAN YOUNGSTERS LEARN THE THREE ‘R’s

CragRats have recently completed a tour of schools in Wigan with an innovative approach to getting youngsters to think about the three R's - reduce, reuse, recycle.

Wigan Council commissioned CragRats to deliver the tour which has reached around 2400 young people across 12 schools. 

A team of CragRats acotrs performed a specially written play that tackled the issues surrounding recycling.  Students then took part in an interactive workshop and looked at how they could make a difference as individuals and as a group.

The aim of the tour is to get young people to be environmentally aware, to understand what might happen if we fail to recycle – both locally and globally.

CragRats’ Account Manager Patricia Moorhouse said: “Recycling and environmental issues are extremely topical and this tour helps capitalise on that by giving young people a chance to formulate their own opinions and hopefully take positive action.”
