Development of a Micro-Lecture on Waste Management or Circular Economy

The University of Rostock hosts the project “Multilingual Micro-Lectures in the Field of Waste Management”, which provides short educational videos on waste management, resource efficiency, and the circular economy in multiple languages. (Website: https://www.uni-rostock.de/weiterbildung/offene-uni-rostock/micro-lectures/multilinguale-micro-lectures-im-spannungsfeld-der-abfall-und-stoffstromwirtschaft/)

To expand this collection, the student will contribute by developing a new micro-lecture from the perspective of their home country and by supporting the translation and audio production of existing videos into their native language.

The student will develop, script, and produce a short educational video (5–10 minutes) addressing a topic related to:

• waste management practices,
• circular economy approaches,
• recycling systems,
• waste prevention strategies,
• environmental awareness,
• innovative case studies from their home country,
• their own ideas related to waste and resource management.
