Dulsco, a regional leader in environmental solutions, recently conducted environmental awareness sessions at Doha College, on both Al Waab and West Bay campuses to an audience of intrigued students.
The focus of the awareness week was to educate the younger generation about the importance of recycling. Most of the topics covered were related to waste: its definition, its different types and how to segregate it. The collaboration between Dulsco and Doha College highlighted to students what their responsibilities are toward the environment, and how to preserve the natural heritage of Qatar.
The primary school students were keen to participate in the interactive presentations delivered by Nicola Maxwell, Regional Head of Commercial; Allan DeCampo, Sales Manager, and Sholto Diack, HSE Consultants from Dulsco. Afterwards there were exciting live demonstrations of the compactor and skip loader, much to the delight of students. The campaign also included a collection of plastic bottles for recycling, and the total amount of plastic bottles brought from home during the week was a staggering 188kg.
As responsible corporate citizens, Dulsco Qatar and Doha College make it a priority to collaborate in helping the community move ever closer towards achieving Qatar’s National Vision 2030.
In September 2016, Doha College became the first school in Qatar to be awarded the coveted Eco-Schools status from Denmark-based Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), under their scheme for international schools.
Doha College is one of the oldest British curriculum schools in Qatar providing a world-class education for over 1,900 students between the ages of three and 18, who represent over 72 nationalities. Established in 1980, the college was proud to celebrate its pearl anniversary in 2010. Originally opened to meet the demand for a British-style education, the school continues to operate on a not-for-profit basis.
The school’s vision is to enable personal growth, instil a passion for learning and create aspirational minds.
