ISK Wins Global Award!

ISK won the International School Awards Community Building Award! Plastiki Rafiki has gained international recognition for accomplishing its mission to clean up the environment by empowering communities to promote and monetize grassroots plastic recycling in a self-sustaining manner. 

The International School Awards provide the opportunity for international schools to share best practices, creative endeavors, community participation, and innovation. Over 250 international schools apply every year, sharing truly inspiring initiatives. All applications are thoroughly assessed by a panel of independent judges- all experts in international education and based around the world. 

The award ceremony took place on January 18 in the United Kingdom and was virtually followed by hundreds of people from the international school community. The 2022 International School Awards recognized 12 categories focusing on important values and areas of development within the international schools market. 261 applications from international schools in 48 countries were submitted for the International School Awards 2022.
