    Abstract

    This song is part of the BioBeo Education Programme, designed to introduce primary school children to the concept of the circular bioeconomy in a fun and engaging way. It aligns perfectly with the AgroCycle Kids Education Programme, developed by Dr Máire Nic an Bhaird and Dr Laoise Ní Chléirigh at Maynooth University, which emphasises participatory, hands-on learning. The BioBeo song encourages children to explore ideas of sustainability and circularity. By incorporating this song into classroom activities, educators can foster creativity and critical thinking about environmental solutions. It’s an excellent resource for making bioeconomy concepts accessible and enjoyable for young learners.
