STATE OF GENEVA

IMPLEMENTATION OF A TRAINING MODULE FOR NEW SORTING POINTS IN THE DEPARTMENTS OF THE STATE OF GENEVA

In Geneva’s administrative offices, the days of office bins and wastepaper baskets are numbered! And not by chance! The State of Geneva has set itself the target of increasing the proportion of waste recycled from the current 30% to 80% by 2025. So no more wastepaper bins, which admittedly contain little more than paper, and hello new sorting points!

DIGITAL TRAINING FOR THE STATE OF GENEVA

To help change habits, so that everyone can familiarise themselves with the new sorting points and avoid putting their rubbish in the wrong bin, the State of Geneva asked eSkills to create a short, interactive digital training course to help people quickly understand how to sort waste effortlessly and become true Serial Sorters! The aim of the training is to make the sorting process accessible to everyone, so that the 80% recycling target can be achieved.

The module produced by eSkills is designed to raise awareness of sorting and to help manage change, particularly in the face of resistance and misunderstanding: “Why is my rubbish bin being taken away from under my desk? Why do I have to get up to the sorting point in the corridor? Which bin should I put my coffee cup in?

LET'S SORT IT OUT: THE NEW CUSTOMISED E-LEARNING MODULE

Before embarking on the production of the digital learning module, the eSkills team began by analysing the various obstacles to the approach, such as the fact of having to get up to the sorting point or the belief that waste is not actually sorted. Our team chose to produce a narrative film with a humorous tone, using photocollage videos in which actors play two office workers: one with a more advanced level of environmental awareness and the other who is rather sceptical at first, but who eventually becomes aware of his impact on the environment. Gamification was integrated to make the digital training module fun, with 2 mini-games “Serial trieur” and “Very Bad Tri”, which involve “drag and drop” to put a series of items of waste in the right containers and identify errors in the bins.

To find out more about raising awareness online : While the training module raises awareness of sorting, at the end of the course it also looks at how to reduce waste by using alternatives (a water bottle rather than a plastic water bottle, a cup rather than a disposable cup, etc.) and raising awareness of the fact that recycling is all very well, but the best waste is the waste that doesn’t exist!
