Essay instructions

You should prepare for the Solution Design summer school by setting your mind on the topic, the Value of Waste. Waste is not just things we throw into our trash bins, but many more “things” we believe to be waste. Just think on things that waste your time, think on some thoughts that are nothing but waste, some music is pure trash, and, aren’t even some people seen as waste nowadays? Just think how refugees are looked at. Or not even looked at. Take some time to think and then write an essay on your position about waste and its potential value. The length of the essay is not essential, but the value of it!
