The Idea Generator within Green Your University

Competition



WMTR Program



On January 4–5, students of Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University and
Telavi Iakob Gogebashvili State University gathered in Tbilisi to
participate in the Idea Generator, within the Green Your University
Competition.



Three groups from each University worked hard over two days to improve and
develop their previously proposed projects, based on which they were
selected to participate in the Idea Generator. The goal of each group was to
come up with an effective project that would change existing waste
management practices, support introduction of integrated waste management,
and in this way would make their Universities Greener.



Due to the lack of separated waste collection systems in regions, the groups
concentrated on campaigns to promote paper collection and recycling, on
reusing and repurposing waste, and on raising awareness among their peers of
integrated waste management.



On January 5, the groups presented their projects to the evaluation
committee, which identified three winning project ideas. Among the winners
were Batumi University’s Green BSEU group, Telavi University’s Carpe Eco
Diem, and in third place two groups from Batumi University — Deka and
Greens.



The WMTR Program will support the winning groups to implement their projects
in January and February.



Waste Management Technologies in Regions (WMTR) was launched on March 18,
2014. The initiative is funded by the U.S. Agency for International
Development (USAID) and implemented by the International City/County
Management Association (ICMA), together with CENN — a local partner and
sub-recipient.



WMTR is assisting the Government of Georgia in designing an adequate waste
management system in the regions of Adjara and Kakheti. The program
objective is to support a cleaner and healthier environment, minimize
adverse impacts from waste on human health and natural resources, and reduce
greenhouse gas emissions from landfills.
