GUST participated in the Competition of Volunteering Projects in Guangdong Province held by the Department of Civil Affairs of Guangdong Province and other relevant departments and organizations for the purpose of supporting and developing voluntary organizations. The Project of Knowledge Popularization and Promotion of Waste Sorting launched by GUST was honored as an outstanding project in Guangdong Province. This project aims to strengthen the consciousness of students and residents in waste sorting and accelerate the progress of the implementation of domestic waste sorting in Dongguan through a series of promotion activities held in surrounding communities, colleges and universities.
This project was launched to serve students from colleges and universities around the Nancheng campus and Songshan Lake campus of GUST and residents in the surrounding communities. According to its current implementation, one promotion activity of the project serves approximately 50 residents or 220 students. One promotion activity will be held in communities every week and two promotion activities will be held in colleges and universities every month, benefiting more than 7,680 residents and students a year. GUST’s participation in the competition reflects its social value in the promotion of volunteering service in waste sorting. GUST will continue to improve its voluntary service and public welfare.
