Aragonese CECI team has been very active in involving local agents in the project. CECI project partner from Aragon has been very active in the past semester. The Aragonese project partner presented their experiences and initiatives regarding circular economy in two CECI events. On the 30th of March two stakeholders, Arropa2 and Caritas presented their experience in the Dissemination event Textile Workshop organized by the LP. They focussed on their work regarding collecting and separating textiles in containers placed in different public and private spaces in the city of Zaragoza, and how this management allows the donation of clothes, recycling, and sales for different uses, including use in movies. On June 2nd the County of Jacetania introduced its experience “Community composting and citizen training” in the Biowaste workshop, showing what a sparsely populated region can do to promote composting among citizens.

The Aragon CECI team has also continued to learn more about circular economy management among their stakeholders by visiting SAICA NATUR factory, a company specialized in the integral management of paper waste, and Arropa2-Caritas, the stakeholders working in textile recycling.

Aragon Good Practices
Three new good practices have been reported, two of them have been translated to videos: “D´Hor el compostador, a school composting and environmental awareness” from Epila City Council. And “Rezivilizate, UZ minimizes waste” from the Green Office-University of Zaragoza. These videos have allowed Aragon project partners to spread their experiences and reach a wider audience while viewers can learn good lessons from the videos. It is also worth noting that five of Aragon's stakeholders have been included in the first catalog of good practices in circular economy published by the Ministry of Ecological Transition of Spain, proving its relevance beyond the regional context.
Another example of collaboration with the local stakeholders is the participation of the Aragon CECI team that presents the CECI project in a course about the “Sustainable Development Goals”, SDG, organized by one of Aragon's stakeholders, the Green Office - University of Zaragoza. University students can earn more about the CECI project and how it relates to the SDGs and sustainability.
