The Circular Suitcase, as a physical object, is a toolbox that includes all the necessary educational material to support practical activities that promote the values of circular economy in schools of the greek province. Each thematic activity - Materials & Products, Food, Water, Climate Crisis - occupies its own distinct space within the suitcase, while auxiliary material accompanies these themes in a separate and prominent position within the suitcase.






The object was designed with ecological logic but also with economical materials and procedures. The exterior of the object consists of industrial wood - plywood - which ensures high durability and in this way extends the life cycle of the object and, in addition, allows the reuse of the object after the end of its first life. The interior of the object is mainly made of cardboards, which allows both its recycling after the end of the suitcase's life and its processing for crafts or other types of constructions.



The size of the suitcase -95cm (L) x 35cm (W) x 35cm (H)- and its weight -12kg- allow for easy transportation of the object from place to place, as well as its easy use by teachers. The overall design logic of the object promotes the so-called conviviality to the extent that it minimizes the cost of construction while simultaneously simplifying the construction processes. Furthermore, it generally allows multiple uses of the object by both the school community and the rest of the local community.
