Kiki Kiwi & Friends Litter Less Programme aims to educate children about the importance of putting their rubbish in the bin.
The programme from Keep NZ Beautiful centres around the storybook Kiki Kiwi & Friends – The Travelling Trash. It includes lesson plans, interactive worksheets and lots of resources that educate students on the impact litter has on our environment and teaches them the importance of ‘Doing The Right Thing’.
Aimed at Years 1 - 7, this programme has been developed in line with the New Zealand school curriculum and in 2018 every primary school in New Zealand received a copy of the programme.
