Schoolchildren across London are being taught how to take apart and rebuild broken toys and household items in a project designed to cut waste and get them thinking about climate change, according to reports from the BBC and other sources.
The initiative, which involves pupils from schools including Francis Holland School near Regent's Park, aims to foster repair skills and environmental awareness. Pupil Alice, from Francis Holland School, was quoted as saying, 'It's really fun because you get to see how things work and then you can fix them instead of throwing them away.'
The project is part of broader efforts to reduce waste and promote a circular economy, with similar repair workshops being held in other parts of the UK. Organizers emphasize that teaching children to repair items can help reduce the millions of tons of waste generated annually.
No specific start date or funding details were available from verified sources, but the project has been covered by local news outlets as of June 2026.
